Today is January 22, 2023. I have been busy with Thanksgiving and Christmas but now I’m back in the greenhouse! We started these Kratky Method hydroponic tanks back in end of August using IBC totes as our tanks. I started 2 tanks of spinach and 1 of lettuce. We have been eating off all the tanks pretty consistently since about late September or early October. We had an ice storm and temps into the teens for a few days right before Christmas. I was sure with my unheated greenhouse I would loose my first batchs when I saw temps in the teens IN my greenhouse! I have some video’s that show my make shift efforts to save them which amazingly, worked great! The lettuce had some losses and has about run its course. We have been picking the bigger leaves and letting the smaller ones grow and replace them but I think that it can only go on for so long 🙂 The spinach however is still rocking! Even sharing it with our neighbors, it is still producing strong.

This last picture shows spinach that was not protected from temps in the teens. I did not try and save it but rather picked it all back to harvest what I could. When I did that last harvest the leaves were FROZEN! But look at it now! that is all grown back in the last 30 days from frozen plants! Amazing! We are so blessed and thankful to have this opportunity to learn and share!
