Hopefully as we enter the spring we stay above the 2 megawatt hour range. But you never know when some cloudy days may show up, or a tropical storm passes through. But April was a good start to another

Fertilizing and watering the garlic fields

These bulbs have woken up and are putting out lots of growth. We needed to add fertilizers to keep them well fed, and we have had a very dry April so we are using that well to irrigate. Feels good using

With just a little over a week from their planned planting date, I think they should be ready for ground when it comes time. We are still getting freezing days even late into April, so I find myself biding

As we enter their third week, they have put on more growth. Though I had to dim the LED light as it seemed a little too intense for half of them. Now the light is set to 25% and the distance from the seedlings

Two stories about 2FA (Two-factor authentication)

I cannot believe no one else has tried growing this way

So I really wanted to try something new, its pretty simple as well. Just put dirt in a pot and let it do its thing. I just add dirt to a pot and put it on the shelf. No seeds, no water.. very minimal.
