Hydroponic Adventures Await Us! in 2020s

I’m excited because today the hydroponic system arrives from Amazon! Since it was so expensive to pick out what I wanted in single packets of seeds, we got a variety pack of veggies specifically made for hydroponic systems. It’s a 6-salad seed packed with romaine, butterhead, radishes, cherry tomatoes, mini cucumbers, and spinach. Tom later found that Temu has cheaper seeds, so we’ll eventually get more from there. We’re just starting out, after all, so we need to really get our feet wet in this sort of thing and learn how it works. Once we see how what we’ve got does, we can always get more. It’s good to stagger things anyway—we wouldn’t want to consume everything and then have to wait for more stuff to grow.

The unit has an extendable grow light and a mister that will cycle on and off.

I also have another coloring book coming.

I used the temporary hair dye yesterday, and it seems to cover well enough, but I can’t really get a sense of just how good it is until more gray grows out. I’m surprised I’m not even more gray than I am by now, seeing that I’m less than a year from 60. I have a lot of gray at the temples, where most people get hit with it, but I’m pretty salt and pepper everywhere else.
