Hello all,

Well, the holidays are over and a new beginning in the growing season starts soon. The various Seed catalogs are beginning to show up in the mail.

This week I’ll start a new experiement in my greenhouse. I will try to grow lettuce hydroponically , without artificial light. Just what ‘Mother Nature’ provides, and as most people know there isn’t very much sunshine here in the Pacific Northwest during wintertime.

I found some leftover seed from last season, which I’ll use. Hopefully it is still good. First I’ll pre-sprout some between some paper towel sheets to see how many will sprout. So by the weekend I start my hydroponic system up. More will follow next week.
