Honestly, growing weed hydroponically is a helluva lot easier than an outdoor garden. Except for the mint, Halifax is right, that stuff can't be killed.

Apparently, if you cut the stem of a lotus' leaf off below the waterline, water will flood down into it, drowning and killing the root. I didn't know that.

I was growing weed outside and inside hydroponically at the same time. The hydroponic weed when dried had less volume than the same amount of leaves from outside. I found continually having to raise the lights a hassle, but the high school kids that stole my outside weed made growing outside more of a hassle.

 Why risk jail time for something I'll kill anyway?

I laughed.
On another note, I, too have been killing too many plants in the garden. I just hope my stepmom doesn't figure out that I hate brussel sprouts.

Is that the Castoroides nebrascensis pollinating the flower?
(Your state was a major hemp supplier during the World Wars, as I understand)

Grew it from seed last year too, doing the same this year.

(Note the name used). Didn't see it in the pix, so thought you might be shooting a very small one.

Murderers!
My basil is doing really well. Oregano is out of fricking control, I'll have to bring one of the plants to Jay next time I get to his place.

And here's the garden so far in Ohio. Still havent gotten really hot weather, but the freezes are over, so it should be good.
A few varieties of heirloom omatoes, peppers, big sage, small sage, bi leaf basil, African basil, oregano, thyme, mint, tarragon, rosemary, dill, spinach, and some volunteer gourds from the housewarming gifts that See Eye brought us last year.

Your topic makes me think of Captain Kirk
Garden = me = death
Why does J_ung plant basil in his Garden.... Because he's in love.
To hug the garden
To envelope, that garden

The sign says "do not weed" in Spanish and English. I had problems with the grounds crew last year.

Pretty excited here. Just planted another row of carrots/radish and two more short rows of lettuce. Also just put the zucchini seeds in the ground and planning on buying my pepper starts this afternoon.
