The indoor garden is growing growing growing. Considering they have only 4 hours of sun, and water when we remember.
Here is the latest view of the gherkins and friends (from l-r: gherkin, turnip, cucumber, fennel, iceberg lettuce, radish)

This movie is a nice look back at how P4K celebrated Plant Learn Grow in days gone by…
The Stop & Shop supermarket had an indoor garden give-away, which was a kit with 20 seed pods and a tray to grow a variety of vegetables.
Here is a movie I made of my experience setting up the tray and planting the seeds.
I wonder what to do when the sprouts get too big for their little pots and need to be replanted, as I do not have outdoor access to make a real vegetable garden.

We had a pineapple the other day, and instead of throwing out the crown, I thought that I would stick it in water and see what would happen.
What do you think will happen?
It is not a “living” garden, but a rock garden is a fun-to-create indoor type of garden. All you need are rocks and pebbles found from the street, park or beach.
In Japan, rock gardens are a big deal to aid in meditation and mindfulness.
Home in NYC, my son and I made these three small rock gardens using Staten Island beach rocks and pebbles. Adding colorful shells , seedpods, or sea-glass is OK too!
