    "Growing vegetables indoors without soil might help cancer patients feel better emotionally and physically. A recent study found that patients who tended to countertop hydroponic gardens experienced improved mental health and an enhanced overall quality of life. The research was published in Frontiers in Public Health."

  3. My food group (Free Fridges, Food Rescue, and Indoor Gardening) has an official logo now.

    ( -This feels like a significant benchmark- )

    A member of my group proposed us getting an official logo so we could start printing out business cards, make T-shirts and Polos, print out an event booth banner, and make giveaway swag, etc....

    ...all of which will really help grow the group and its operations as we attend events and reach out in the local community.

    We all agreed and that group member initiated everything and got it done.

    And here is a wonderful thing. We went to a local art collective and commissioned a local artist to create the logo. (And I believe they did it for free in support of helping us feed our mutual neighbors).

    No AI. No Slop. A real local artist. We support each other.

    So cheers to Pete Morelewicz (and Emmy) - His site can be found here : printjazz.com

  4. Last year I grew two turmeric plants. I tried to overwinter one, which is sometimes successful, but it died back completely in the dry indoor air. Out of spoons, I just ignored the pot in my living room.

    It hadn't been watered since December. I was planning to dump the spent soil and no-doubt decomposed remnants of rhizome.

    Last Monday I walked past the pot and was stunned to see a sprout. So I watered it, heavily and repeatedly. Today it's 16" tall. #IndoorGardening #TropicalPlants #Gardening

  5. Currently reading:

    Evaluation of bokashi fermentation leachate as a biofertilizer in urban horticulture – inorganic plant nutrient content in bokashi leachate and its effect as a fertilizer on pak choi

    My goal is zero waste / smell-free composting, so it's not an issue for me that bokashi leachate seems to be low in nitrogen.

    I will likely use the leachate as a drain cleaner.

  6. UPDATE: The spinach died back, but the scallions kept going all winter, letting me clip a couple shoots every other week. Parsley kept going too. Now seeding sorrel and lettuce into the empty spots .....

  7. Moss Terrarium – Initial Build

    I built a moss terrarium to survive a New Jersey winter — but between FedEx delays, frozen fingers, and springtail paste, it finished just as spring arrived.

  8. I haven't the foggiest clue how these two are still putting out new growth with the subpar lighting situation in my living room. But I won't complain. I'll take any win I can get at this point.

  9. So, I have one Meyer Lemon tree that survived my haphazard gardening techniques. I just attempted to start six more plants. We'll see what survives...

    How to Grow a Meyer Lemon Tree from Seed in a Pot

    by Henry Morgan

    "Here’s a general guideline for pot sizes at different stages of growth:

    Seedling Stage: When planting the Meyer lemon seed, you can start with a small pot that is around 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 centimeters) in diameter. This size allows for good root development while preventing the soil from staying too wet.
    Early Growth: As the seedling grows and develops more leaves, you can gradually move it into a slightly larger pot. A pot that is 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 centimeters) in diameter should provide enough space for the young tree to continue growing comfortably.
    Juvenile Stage: Once the Meyer lemon tree has outgrown its initial pot and its roots start to fill the container, it will need to be transplanted into an even larger pot. At this stage, a pot that is 16 to 20 inches (40 to 50 centimeters) in diameter should be sufficient.
    Mature Tree: As the Meyer lemon tree matures and reaches its full size, it will require a larger container to support its growth and root system. A pot that is 24 inches (60 centimeters) or larger in diameter is recommended for a mature Meyer lemon tree grown in a container."

  10. Don't have a green thumb but realized what I dislike about gardening (bugs and weeding) are outdoors! I wanted to use our bay window for something useful, so we just fitted it with some grow lights! So excited!

  11. I hate how I put off tasks for -months- because I'm constantly exhausted and stressed out but when actually doing it, it wasn't actually too terrible to finish. This snake plant has direly needed a repot but I haven't gotten a chance to do it until tonight. 🪴

  14. @MaQuest So, one thing that not all the articles seem to talk about is the possibility of bacteria -- with contaminated seeds being a source (only get seeds from a reputable source). I used to grow my own many years ago -- and might start doing so again -- but I know I stopped because of concerns about contamination. I learned a lot from this article, which could be helpful for others when growing #Microgreens and #sprouts...

    #SproutSafety: 10 Ways To Kill Bacteria on Sprouts From Seed To Plate
