Since they've still got peppers on them this late in the growing season, we've moved them inside to the study. Currently, we have at least 10 unripe peppers, and several flowers which, hopefully, have been pollinated.Pete Marchettohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07272568978812952829noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430124273397932247.post-36156962593517965892008-09-26T10:12:00.000-07:002008-09-27T09:25:05.249-07:00Getting Started in Hydroponics<a href="http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2008/09/hydroponics_system_from_j.html">This post</a> on the <a href="http://blog.makezine.com/">Make: Blog</a> started me thinking about making a basic hydroponics system at home. I found a large amount of information on hydroponics available online, but the most wonderful and authoritative work comes, as always, from <a href="http://www.motherearthnews.com/">Mother Earth News</a>. Here's a great <a href="http://www.motherearthnews.com/Organic-Gardening/1977-01-01/Mothers-Mini-Manual-Hydrophonics.aspx">Hydroponics Mini-Manual</a>. I'll be posting soon about progress on the system itself.<br /><br />Oh, and you're probably wondering what we want to grow in there. It's looking like lettuce is going to be our first test crop.Pete Marchettohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07272568978812952829noreply@blogger.com0
