My winter gardens

When things are gray, growing plants gives my spirit a boost.

I have quite a crop growing this season. The best thing is that my cats have not decided to sit on top of either of my aero gardens. Last year, I thought Barn-E would break the light.

Today Barn-E is trying to open cabinets and drawers in my kitchen. He’s being a super pest, but he’s so cute, I can’t get too mad at him.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Harvesting lettuce

It’s time for a nibble from my hydroponic garden.

It sure makes me happy to see these plants growing. And besides looking at the green plants, I can eat the lettuce. Can’t beat being able to eat from my winter garden.

The second growing water garden will eventually have pansies. Those should bring color into my house.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Update on hydroponic garden

My winter garden is growing.

I saw the sprout a couple days ago. Now it is coming through the hole in the paper lid.

Probably, in another week or so, I’ll be able to pinch off a homegrown leaf of lettuce–in past years, I would walk past and take a leaf to eat just for the heck of it and munch it right there. Yum.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.
