Growing Challenge: Planting the seeds
I have decided to participate in The Growing Challenge hosted by the people at Elements in Time. The short version is to try growing at least one thing from seed that you have not tried before. My daughters and I have decided to grow some tomatoes (Sweetie, San Marzano, Siletz) which I normally pick from the limited choice of seedlings that are available at my garden store. While picking…

Why don’t you grow tomatoes in the ground?
When I mention I grow tomatoes upside down many people ask me, “Why don’t you grow tomatoes in the ground?” The surprise answer is, I do grow both in the ground and in the air. The picture above shows my current tomato plants I am growing in the one location with sufficient sunlight to grow them, which might explain the reason why I look alternate options for adding more…

How to make a grow box controller (Original)

The existing controller (PS2 Controller, parallel port with various wires to control relays) worked but was not exactly compact….

Make your own supplemental LED grow light
I never got a round to making a hydroponic system out of my Cafe Steamer, but I did use part of it to create a supplemental red LED light. The construction of this was very easy and you can do the same thing with an old string of LED Christmas lights and some soft plastic (margarine or frozen dinner container) from your recycling bin. Take the plastic and drill…

Tomato thief in the garden
Given our 7 foot fence around the yard, have to rule out deer…my best guess is a raccoon scaling the fence for a snack. Probably the same one who decided that my first tomato looked too good to ripen to save for seeds and pulled the branch off. It was nice enough to leave the green ones on the fine which I have hung up on my garage where…

Computerized grow box update
Haven’t mentioned the computerized grow box for a while, so think it is a good time for an update. The moisture sensor corroded away, but have plans to make a much more beefier one. With the exception of the hard drive failure, the basic functionality of the computerized grow box has been excellent and the plants have been thriving. The only physical improvement I have made is adding some…

That was a very interesting video; with the way the plants were moving it almost seemed like they were breathing!
Laura, you’re right, I guess they were! Nice video. Its amazing how big they got.
I absolutely love time lapse videos. Great job!
did you take this video using that fancy time lapse camera? What are the specifications of the video shot: pictures shot every hour during the day only, for about how many weeks? Neat stuff! I considered doing an old fashioned time lapse series of photos of my morel mushroom patch, but after 18 months my morels have yet to (visibly) fruit.
