Winter Downtime...

Well, Winter has truly arrived here. The leaves are down. The wind has cooled. And the cloudy days outnumber the sunny ones.

As far as the indoor garden experiment goes...

The watermelon did very well, but unfortunately got powdery mildew and eventually I had to pull it. Maybe next spring I'll try again, with a bigger pot and better soil.

Four out of five squash plants also got powdery mildew, and eventually had to get pulled. However, a single plant did not get it, and is still alive. Not thriving, but IS alive.

The lettuce AND green onions are doing extremely well. Just on the windowsill, with no supplemental lighting!

I've started saving up seeds for next year. I've got an interesting Bantam sweet corn I can't wait to try out. Pumpkin seeds, and many more. I'll list them all later. :)
