Seems like blog entries are coming on days that are multiples of three…not a bad idea for a gardening project, since some lovely plants (for example the genus Lilium) operate around just that number. It is tricky to grow bulbs like that indoors (though not impossible), and it won’t be our first priority here.
Instead, drumroll please…here we have our FIRST VIDEO INSTALLMENT of Let Us Eat Lettuce! Astute observers will note that there is a grower’s gizmo in the background, namely the grow light hanging from the ceiling. Rest assured that we’ll only be using the light from the south-facing window that you’ll see on the left side of the screen for our projects. That avocado tree lives next to the west-facing window that appears in back of me, and has grown just fine without artificial light. We do use the grow light for our garden starts, and I will introduce you to those, too, as they develop this winter and spring, but bear in mind, we decided to buy it after gardening for three or four years, and as we decided to expand our operation. Again, our goal here for this project is to get you growing some satisfying crops without having to come to that–yet. If I can manage to grow something in our characteristically disorganized and dishevelled state (don’t expect the background to change too much!), you can, too!
