Post Farmaggedon(Indoor growing)with pics Aug17 update
Aug 17th update

So the babies have been outside on the patio for a few days..we had some rain and sunshine mix and today they are calling for thunderstorms, so it was best they came in before getting root rot..because they are in bags and planters they and they do drain, they can however become to watered(yup to much of a good thing)..lol...


So here we go..I built a another table from totes(filled with spare prep items materials and such)(yes this is the one I dropped on my foot )...

First picture is full view of the room as much as I could get into one pic..later I can move back further...see how they have grown..the 2 larger tomato plants are hybrids and have tomatoes on them(they will be kept far away from my hybrids)

the long tray at the back is non-hybrid beans(they came up fast and are growing really good) the large tray to the left of the picture is non-hybrid peas and they are not doing so well(yield was less then I had expected)..in front of large tray are non-hybrid strawberries9there are few strawberries on them now and I am going to harvest the seeds today)..small planters around the front are tobacco

view to the right side of the room

you can see the planters filled with the herbs


Image


view to left side of the room...you can see against the wall my blue barrels, I have to put a spigot in one of them(thank you Mike for sending me the spigot)

on the front table we have zucchini,squash,cucumbers,melons,watermelons,pumkin and all the different varieties of tomatoes..tomatoes will be separated once they get bigger so they do not cross pollinate

the bags have holes poked into them and have small rocks for drainage...

So as you can see all the plants are doing really well..the tomatoes need more soil and to be staked up I have more herbs they are at my front window

once I can afford it I will invest in another grow light to get them through the winter

I don’t think it’s a matter of “is it coming.” I think that it’s already here, it’s just a matter of perspective. From one perspective, our frog friends are telling us that we should be grateful that the “spa” is hot and luxurious. From the cook’s perspective… another 10 minutes and we’ll be dinner.

a few side notes

the window with the white curtains is facing my carport..I can open them but not much sunlight comes through...

I have white thin plastic fencing to put up around..keep silly cats out

and I still have out on the patio 2 large totes with holes in the bottom..one filled with potatoes(kind from grocery store to see what happens) and one with non-hybrid raspberries(which are doing awesome in their tote)

hybrid radishes that I bought on sale were a complete flop they are mutant radishes...they grew like sticks...
