Everything is Growing

Well even though it is cold up north, Florida is getting ready for spring and everything is growing like mad. The hydroponic garden has produced it's first strawberry - yum yum

And the small cherry tomatoes are getting ripe.

Some of the broccoli we left on too long and it started to flower - little yellow flowers where the the broccoli buds were - I didn't know that.

We've got green peppers galore and a few jalapenos - good for the blood circulation

We picked our first batch of snap beans.

And we got more cilantro than I can make salsa with.

We originally thought that we'd eat lettuce right out of the garden in our salads but there isn't any way we can keep up to the rate that it is growing. That is a stalk of lettuce growing from the lowest Styrofoam box right up past the top box - starting to get a little bitter so I've got our second and third crops planted and growing to replace the old ones.

We've been saving pineapple tops, they are suppose to root and grow new pineapples - just have to wait two years.
