Good Afternoon. 1405, partly cloudy, 93F {110 HI} with 60% humidity. Forecast high of 91F with 60% chance of rain today, and a low of 76F tonight.
I was up at 0530 {early for me}, and spent all morning getting my hydro system set up. Last night I had put together a shelving unit, got the holes cut in the lid, drilled holes in 8 small pots, hooked up the air-pump and started to fill the tub with water. So all I had to do this morning was hang the lights and make a spot to put it. In order to put it by the plants already by the east facing window I had to move the desk over and move the credenza down the wall a little ways. Before it was over I had traded out my big old speakers for small new speakers, moved an old computer, monitor and other accessories, moved current computer, monitor and accessories, moved the TV, moved the stationary bike, Gazelle and other exercise equipment and moved my gardening table.
I got it done before I had to leave for work, but I was cutting it close. {The room is still in a tumble. I'll worry about that another day} I got 3 cucumber, 3 squash and 2 Armenian cucumber plants in the hydro system, plus I put a long, lanky tomato that was in a pot under the lights as well. Last night I put 3 kinds of pepper and 2 kinds of tomato seeds {including a purple one} in starter plugs. I'll rig up the other tub when they sprout. Or I may wait til I can get some rockwool starter plugs and put these in soil. I hate to get the water messed up with peat moss, but neither Lowe's nor Walmart have very hydro friendly garden departments.
Good bye old friends. Hello younger skinny new friends.
I think I will like the temp in this garden much better than my outside one.
You guys have a good one,
Larro
