Strawberries Grow Forever

This past week was so warm, stores decided to trick people into buying plants too soon. A major retailer had some ever bearing strawberry crowns for sale, so I got them.


The students plopped these into the hydroponic system to see what will happen. Hopefully they will produce strawberries.

Not doing well, put into the flood and drain system

We took a tomato seedling out of dirt, and plopped it into the system

Tomato roots after a few days

Took a nearly dead poinsettia and put it in too. It died


We think that poinsettia cuttings work real well in the flood and drain system.


The lettuce plugs are sort of hanging around, some growth noted


The seeds from the other day are showing some movement, we think.




J transplanted some melons into larger containers.
The flood and drain tomato has blossoms

Future tomatos

I am learning along with the students, so mistakes are being made, but that is part of learning.
