Garden update! 02/26/2015

Hello friends!

What a busy couple of weeks it has been! Sorry I've neglected these garden updates... but rest assured, I was working diligently to get some new hydroponic systems setup. After having to remove all the plants from the hydroponic garden, I've been getting an itch to start growing something. It's really nice to have the room buzzing with the sound of lights, pumps, and fans again!

I started poblano peppers, purple bell peppers, ruby red Swiss chard, arugula, fenugreek, Genovese basil, red velvet basil, dark opal basil, and thyme. Can't wait to see this garden in full bloom!

Speaking of blooms, the broccoli flowers outside are starting to open up. They seem to be really, really good flowers for attracting pollinators. I've also have spotted open pea flowers, open cilantro flowers, and squash flowers forming up... exciting!
