Hello everyone,
Very entertained when an interesting thing happened this morning. I woke up very fresh after sleeping in the pouring rain last night. The lightning and cold wind made my sleep very soundly tonight. I really enjoyed the morning with quite clean air, something to be grateful for living in a dense area and clean air is something that is difficult to get.

The rain last night also meant that I didn't have to spray various hydroponic vegetables and several other ornamental plants around my garden, at least I wasn't too tired and could enjoy a cup of coffee this morning leisurely, after a 6 km morning run. Something to be grateful for, right?

My garden update is not too much, but, maybe this is a little change from last week, where you see the lettuce that I planted has started to grow but laziness makes everything not move. The lettuce is still in the tray which has even started to grow green moss. Submerged in water and starting to grow, but they are still living very well. Lately the weather has been very good because it rains at night and is hot during the day, as you can see, even my eyes can't dilate because my pupils have to avoid the sun.

Of course, even though the weather is hot, I still want to work so that my plants can be moved to hydroponic Styrofoam, in order to get nutrients so that they can grow well. Sometimes, this is done in order to make the roots of the lettuce seeds grow well, so that strong roots will produce good plants too.

Besides lettuce, I have pakcoy which is not much different in age from lettuce. So far, pakcoy has been a favorite vegetable that is easy to cook in any way, even if blended with pineapple, pakcoy is very good as a source of fiber and good nutrition for the body. Pakcoy is one of the easiest vegetables for us to eat as a family, of course the easiest is lettuce, because lettuce can be eaten directly.

Besides lettuce, there are also tomatoes, the only fruit in my garden. It turns out that my tomatoes are red, I thought they were only green. Growing very well with persistence, because I didn't really focus on this tomato, but didn't realize that I hadn't bought tomatoes for the past month. In my opinion, the tomatoes we have taste a little sour, the sweetness is not that pronounced, but the texture is very champion.

At first glance this week everything is fine, without any obstacles even though the weather is in a bad mood, sometimes angry until the hot sun makes all my vegetables wilt, but one side sometimes cries until it rains one night without stopping. But everything is in good condition. Hopefully there are no obstacles and they continue to grow well.

The weather been really bad lately and it's really hard to grow stuff I think. Though my plans thrive in sun than rainy weather 🤣. I hope you'd still get good harvest despite this awful unpredictable weather.

unpredictable weather is even more confusing than my angry wife :D

What strain of lettuce is that? I have also started my own using hydroponics hehe

I don't know either, I just bought it on the marketplace and now it's not sold anywhere anymore.

Great post and love the lettuce. I'm really interested in hydroponics so will now follow with interest.

Thank-you, best wishes and every success :-)

my pleasure!

Hydroponics is fascinating, but it does require regular attention. It's understandable that with other priorities, it can be tough to keep up with its needs.

If I may suggest, if you have a large enough land, just use natural. It's just that the grass is very wild and must be cleaned often.

You are right! Correct! =)
