Adventures in Hydroponics

So, you're probably wondering how two people entertain themselves all winter long in a motor home with less than 400 square feet of living space.

Sometimes we do science experiments.

We recently bought some bibb lettuce that came with the roots still attached. With the help of The Google, we found out how to grow lettuce in water.

The windshield area of the MH is an excellent potential greenhouse since it's surrounded with glass.

It's a dreary day and you can see raindrops on the windshield. My blogging ideas and the weather don't always coincide. Here's our little lettuce plant. The piece of string is to keep it from tipping over, though it seems to be sittig pretty well now. 

Here's a close up. The water is sort of icky but we'll change that in a few days. This has been growing for about three weeks...and we have some 1" long leaves. At this rate, we'll be ready to make a salad sometime around Labor Day.
