It has been a busy summer preparing for our apiary opening next spring. Add that to a record drought in Texas with over 90 days of 100+ temps and lets just say the outdoor greenhouses didn't see a lot of action.
The strawberries have rebounded nicely and are actually producing fruit again -that's right, fresh strawberries in December! The blackberries are putting on veg again slowly, blue and raspberries just didn't make it through the drought.
We are starting up the TreeHouse with three autopot systems and we are going to attempt to grow some Endovia trees from seed. They need to germinate in some cold temps so we think they will do well. We have wanted to use the autopots (thanks for the suggestion Zach) for a while now using coir as a medium and we are getting our chance. We may toss in a few other flowers to beautify the house a little. We expect the autopots this weekend so we will prove some video and updates next week.
Practicing Hydroponics illustrates and documents the implementation of theory and products available to hydroponic gardeners through a "live" personal grow room. My approach to vegetable gardening in this environment came from research conducted on the internet; through reading books; and the knowledge gained though visits to local stores specializing in hydroponics. I happily share my mistakes and success in order to provide you with how I put theory into Practicing Hydroponics!
