the vegetable garden


You were wondering, I'm quite sure, how the hydroponic gardening is coming along.  Answer: I have harvested, so far, about four cilantro leaves, which were very pretty, though not nearly as strongly flavored as the ones I grew outside this summer.  The basil, though copious, is very very tiny still.  The mint, interestingly, looks the most promising and robust - the cilantro, for all its enthusiastic root system - shown here - is on the ominously spindly side.  As much as anything, they are a delight simply for the sense that one's growing something in the depth of winter.
