Veggies in space

[neverspent]

Gardening is in full swing! We, like most in the Northern hemisphere it seems, had an unusually warm March, but April has provided some cooler weather. I appreciate it, but the little plantlings not so much. They'd like a little more heat and sun, especially my yellow tomato seedling which I put in the same pot with the flat-leaved parsley from last year. The past couple of days have been warmer, and my sunflowers--transplanted from volunteers in my dad's garden--grew measurably. The coleus and basil seem happy as well.



Speaking of gardening, how about a garden in space? I'd always thought my job on the intergalactic spacecraft of the future could be Hydroponic Gardener. Well, there's already this:

Diary of a Space Zucchini

I'm quite charmed.

That sounds like our spring last year. Here's to surviving. And perhaps some of that water coming when it's most needed rather than all at once!
