While it may appear to the people that know me that I'm always into gadgets/computers/electronic stuff, I'm also fascinated by many other things outside of computers. Last year I started getting more into cooking, watching the Food Network and trying things I watched on TV. I've made some pretty great stuff (details I'll save for another blog post).
One of the things I learned is the tomatoes in the grocery stores are un-ripe, and given a chemical to treat them and make them red. I feel cheated robbed like I'm missing out on the true taste of tomatoes. I've also always wanted to grow my own tomatoes (after growing a bunch of stuff in my window), so I went nuts at a local hydroponic supply store.
I have a 400W grow light, reflector, hydroponic grow buckets, rockwool seed starting cubes, and I have started with tomato seeds. I have 3 kinds of tomato seeds - beefsteak, roma, and a yellow one.
