Hydroponic & Greenhouse Update for the First Round - by Sunscape
![gardening-sustainable-lettuce.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmaScgxsMCm5PgfiRk2gzhGhkTF2tVmcwiGh598XFwdUV1/gardening-sustainable-lettuce.jpg)
<br>The Kratky Method of Hydroponics has worked wonderfully once again.  This Buttercrunch lettuce has given me a lot of delicious salads in the last two months.  As you can see it is coming close to the end.  I have continually picked the largest leaves as it was growing.

<br>This image is of the root system after 2 months, also no additional water was added to the tub.  The water is almost gone and the roots are still looking nice and white.  This is a good indication of how well the plants did with the nutrients I added at the beginning of the growing stage.  
#### Cilantro Tower Garden

<br>I have dated the photos that I took since starting the Cilantro, Parsley, and Cauliflower in this tower system.  It has done very nicely as well and the cold nights going down into the mid-30s have not bothered the plants at all.
#### Veggies
##### Red Acre Cabbage

<br>I am growing Red Cabbage in hanging baskets this year, as well as, in the garden to see the comparison.  
#####  Black Beauty Eggplant

<br>The eggplant is doing very well and I am happy with the strong stems which will help them not to stress when I plant them out.
#####  Rosemary

<br>I started the Rosemary from seed way back in February and it is finally getting some height.  I am probably going to trim the tops soon so that the plants will branch out.  When I run my hand over the plants the entire greenhouse smells delightful.
##### Sweet Peppers

<br>All 4 varieties of sweet peppers are getting bigger too.  I will have to pot some of them up into larger containers since they are outgrowing the 8-packs I started them in.

<br> I only got to one tray of the Red Marconi Peppers potted up this week.  Hopefully, I can get to the others in the next couple of days.  I do have to have my husband pick up another bale of potting mix first.
##### Tomatoes

<br>The tomatoes are getting too tall for the seeding tray so it was time to get them cared for.

<br>This photo was taken the next day after up-potting the tomatoes and the cabbages.  They did not even stress at all and I know that they will really start to grow fast now.


It is time to take a break and get some lunch.  I hope you enjoyed the update on my urban gardening.  
<br> Until next time, this is Sunscape
