    Hello from cold and frozen upstate New York. In an effort to defy winter, I garden indoors hydroponically. There is something soul satisfying about picking lettuce and flowers in January. Winter, bah humbug. ;)

    Hi hydrogardener, welcome to the Stew from north Texas.
    We would love to see pictures of your hydroponic system and what you are growing. We love pictures of gardens of all kinds.

    Welcome to you, hydrogardner, from snowless, un-winter-like mid-Norway. :stew2: Hop in and make yourself comfortable. I think I need to look into growing lights and how to widen my window sills, because I also want to pick lettuce in January. :D

    Off to check your blog now.

    I have posted a few photos and I will check out the rest of the site as time permits. Regarding myself, I am retired, and interests, in addition to gardening, include amateur radio, photography, machine embroidery and history.

    Welcome from northeast Wisconsin where we know all about the cold too! I look forward to your posts on hydroponic gardening. I'd like to learn more about it and possibly give it a try if I can find the space to do so.
