REMEMBER THE "PUPPIES"?

NOBODY LIKES REPORTING FAILURES, AND SO I'VE PUT THIS BLOG ENTRY OFF A FEW WEEKS. REMEMBER THE FOUR TOMATO SEEDS THAT SPROUTED?

THREE OF THEM OVER A TWO WEEK PERIOD WERE TRANSFERED TO THE WATER FARM WHERE THEY WILTED AND DIED. I WISH I KNEW WHY THEY DIED? IT WASN'T FREEZING TEMPS, IT WASN'T LACK OF WATER, IT WASN'T TOO MUCH CHEMICAL, BUT I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT IT WAS? I'D LIKE TO AT LEAST LEARN SOMETHING FROM FAILURE.

THE 4TH (AND LUCKY) PUPPIE WAS PLANTED IN STEVE, THE NEIGHBORS, HERB GARDEN AND IS SURVIVING.

OF COURSE STEVE WAS QUICK TO POINT OUT HIS METHODS, UNLIKE HYDROPONICS, IS "OLDER THAN DIRT" SO TO SPEAK.

MEANWHILE THE ROSEMARY CONTINUES TO GROW WELL, AND IS PROVIDING THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH FRESH ROSEMARY WHENEVER THE RECIPE HAS A CALL FOR IT. THERE WON'T BE ANY NEW HYDROPONIC TESTING UNTIL CLOSER TO SPRING.

Happy 12th Birthday Marissa Besl!!!
