Off Season
Haha! Time to start all that non-growing season fun. Never really an off season. Trying to get the transmission back in order. The John Deere will not be traveling much anymore.

One Step Closer
Moving closer and closer to my first foray into hydroponics. With this block of styrofoam I clear another hurdle. Now, I need a fish tank pump and black paint. Oh, and a grow light.

NĂºmero Dos
Day #2 of the peanut project. Yes, I will be posting every day I can. The news of the day is that the peanuts are spending nights in the kitchen for now to keep the soil temp up. We'll figure something else out when the day time temps drop below 70 and stay there consistently.

Yes, We Have Peanuts
This is Day 1 of the peanut experience. We planted these bad boys on September 28. The idea is to learn how to work with peanuts before we plant in the spring. I know it's not peanut season but grow lights will help get us through the growing process.

Attempting Peanuts
Planting peanuts on the deck. Just trying to see if they'll germinate. We may try and mature them under a grow light.
The first picture is from last Saturday. Claire is busy aerating the soil for optimum oxygenation. The second picture is from this past Monday. Third, is from this past Wednesday. Keeping the fingers crossed.
