Garden Photos May 31, 2008
Hokay meng, another picture post.
So all 3 toy-choi seeds germinated. I found it interesting that on Burpee’s website it looks very different thanthe amazing choi that Matt grew. It was most likely the nutrients.
The spinach is just starting to germinate as well.

Garden Pictures Update! May 26, 2008
Well, I’m at it again. The last picture post brought my pageviews up to phenomenal levels.
Some new tomato growth It’s been growing like a weed…
And that tomato that was ripening? It’s ripe and ready to pick, but I’m saving it for something special.
Life update May 25, 2008
Hey everyone, I’ve been a bit busy lately. Gardening stuff, life stuff. Anyways, I got my seeds from Victory Seeds and from Burpee. Victory has packaged my seeds cleanly and professionally, and the delivery was nearly instantaneous. Burpee nearly achieved the same, except my seeds were packaged in an unpadded container. Either way, I’m happy with all of my seed purchases online.
Well, the Farmers Market was fun. We don’t have too many people selling live plants there, but we have a few. The live-veggie lady, the Japanese orchid lady, the old-world lady selling the trained fuschia trees, but, alas, I’m rambling. The Farmers Market is a really fun place, and it has something for everyone. Kettle Corn, Pastries, Fresh veggables, and much more.
Eh. Things’ve been fun lately. Boring, but fun. I’ll make a photo-post today though, I promise.

Swallowtail Garden Seeds review May 23, 2008
Find their site here.
I ordered all three strawberries on the page 3 days ago. As stated in the shipping info, they were set to arrive in 3 days. They did. I came home from school today to find a medium sized, puffy orange envelope sitting on my desk. I opened the orange envelope. I found a white envelope. I opened it. I found 3 seed packets and the shipping information. The packets had germination info and a description of my plant. I opened the packets. I found a miniature plastic-bag. Inside that I found a small white envelope. Inside the envelope were my seeds.
And inside the seeds? Everything required to make an extremely complex living thing which is different than any other seed of the same variety, from the same plant, taken from the exact same fruit.
From the start, just the package made me think. That’s a very good thing.
The people at Swallowtail Garden seeds have provided me with a pleasant overall experience. Their prices/delivery rates are, at the very least, quite reasonable, their selection is much more than fair, and the service I’ve been provided through email and the haste of my delivery have made this a simple, incredibly buyer-friendly experience for me. If you’re looking for good delivery, customer service, price, and a wide array of products for your next seed purchase, I highly reccomend Swallowtail Garden Seeds.
Hydroponic choices May 22, 2008
Well, as you may have read in a previous post, the items I’m choosing to grow in my Waterfarm right now are the tiny tim tomato, toy choi, early hybrid spinach, and 3 varieties of everbearing strawberry. Here are some pictures of them all:

This one is rather big, but a good example nonetheless.

This is a good example of a small one. This is what I hope to achieve in my Waterfarm.

If anybody has an feedback on my choice of varieties or would like to recommend a different variety, feel free to post a comment.
It’ll be the tomato near the back in the middle, bok choi and spinach in front of it, and strawberries in 3 corners.
P.S. Some garden pics.
The flytrap is in full bloom now!
This is what happens when the wind carries away your radish seeds:
The tomato is almost ripe.
