Happy Monday everyone! I’ve been checking on (and watering) our hoop houses/wagons about once a week. Their growth is slow and not very exciting, so I don’t usually bother during the week, just on the weekends. The short days are also a factor and I don’t ever want to let…
When we first set up our grow lights, we planted a few flats of greens, sprouts, micro greens and wheat grass just to see what would happen. Well, it’s actually been really great! We’ve harvested enough for several meals (salads and greens for sandwiches) and have juiced wheat grass several…
