For Christmas this year I asked for a larger hydrogarden setup to fit into the corner of my living room. It’s a wardrobe rack with clothing rods that I plan to attach grow lights to. At this point in time I’m planning to just do leafy greens but have plans to continue to do tomatoes and peppers but you can see my rough draft for my garden plan, if there’s enough space I’d like to get another wardrobe rack for tomatoes and peppers (one with less shelves).
As you can see I have cilantro, spinach, green onion, arugula and maybe kale. I have been enjoying green onion this past year and plan to continue it, my current pot is unfortunately dying so I have to replant it but my poblano peppers are still growing strong! Although I think my living room overall is starting to feel a bit cold for them so it might be time to turn on the heat. My larger hydrogarden setup will look like the right pic. Depending on the size of the pots there may be 3-4 on each shelf.
The plan is to use my electric canner and dehydrator in this process too. I want to replant my small aerogarden pot for herbs. Dry the herbs in the dehydrator and then jar and store most of them in the apothecary. As you can see in the notion below I’ve picked out a few medicinal herbs, but with most of them being flowering I have to pay attention to the light, the grow lights I got won’t work for those.
I’m excited for this next chapter in my gardening journey! Follow along my urban homestead blog for updates!
