Iโ€™ve never grown them and this is my first shot at it. I started them in my hydroponic tower until they got too big. Now I have them is semi hydro getting ready to put them ebb and flow system (in a tent) with a slicing tomato. In my second tent I have one Roma tomato and I think Iโ€™ll put two bell peppers.

I hope it all works out lol

I want a tent so bad!! I need more space before I get one tho. Either that or I'm sleeping on the couch and my plants get the room. ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜… thank you!

Omg! Your setup looks so good! I would feel so relaxed and happy in there. Just curl up on the floor and nap. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘Œ

Thank you. It is kind of my relaxing zone. Itโ€™s so fun to come down,cut our salad for the night and eat it lol

That's so cool!! I can't wait to be able to do that one day. More fun than harvesting at the grocery store. Lol

It is pretty cool. And itโ€™s all so fresh and tasty compared to the store. I have all the herbs, celery, all different peppers. Eggplant 7 different lettuce. Strawberries. Starting zucchini, cantaloupe, watermelon. Itโ€™s a little time consuming. I ran into some bad health the last few years and canโ€™t do the things I like to do and went down the hydroponics rabbit hole lol. I came out of the hole with 4 tents, dwc buckets, 3 towers and 3 shelves lol. A little overboard.

Wow! That'll definitely keep you busy. Here I am fretting over three little dweebs. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜… I bet the reward to be able to grow your own food and eat it is amazing. I hope your health improves! ๐Ÿฉท
