What's growing on, Beehaw?
Things are greening up nicely following a few warm rains, and some of our earliest fruits are beginning to set. A little busy this week but I’ll be sure to add some shots in a comment a little later....
Starting a Serrano, a Hungarian cheese pepper, and a cherry tomato in my backyard! (files.catbox.moe)
I’ve mentioned it in the weekly thread but these are sitting an inch deep in nutrients and water. They drink it down, and I refill it when they need it. Its a hydroponic method called kratky. I don’t have a hose or a lot of room so this might be a good solution for me. Excited to see how it goes!

Weather is good enough to take out little explorer around the block again. He had a great time but got a big fright from the garbage truck noises so we did need to carry him home.
