Hydroponic Lettuce
I bought Bibb lettuce the other day that is grown the hydroponic way, without soil. And I must say that it was beautiful and quite tasty. The roots are left intact because it makes the lettuce last longer.
Hyroponic lettuce can be grown at home -indoors, and is becoming more and more popular amongst greenhouse gardeners. I imagine we may be seeing more of this lettuce in the produce aisle. This is the first time I've seen it in the store, but perhaps it's been sold for some time and I've only now just noticed it. I plan to do my own research to find out what's in the nutrients that help make it grow. The lettuce I bought is not treated with herbicides, so that's a plus.
Apple Carving
This is what I did while waiting for dinner to be done. Hmmm. It's not like I didn't have a hundred other things to do, but with the apple staring at me I just couldn't resist. I've wanted to do this for a long time. When I was young my older sister carved an apple and left it hang until it dried. After several months it looked like a very wrinkly old woman.
This took about 10 minutes.
I'll keep you posted on what it looks like when he's dried. He's hanging in the kitchen by the stem.
