I know this is short notice but I’m archiving this group as of the 17th of April. I have a gardening publication elsewhere that you’re more than welcome to read and subscribe to. (Free and paid options.) It’s a better fit for me and I have a community chat there as well. Plus I don’t have to pay a fee just to be there writing. I do hope you’ll join me and follow along in my growing dome journey as well. https://homeanddomegardening.substack.com/

Hello i live in New Hampshire, I recently read that you could start lupine seeds now. I thought about starting a seed tray and putting them in mini greenhouse Anyone have experience with this Thanks

I’m getting anxious…I just want my dome done. It has been a pleasant few days and the sun has been out for at least a couple hours each day. I now have the dome completely anchored to the wall and am ready to put the tin over the insulation. I was going to build the garden beds for inside but decided to order some metal ones from Amazon today. In the end it’ll be much easier and cheaper for me to take that route. I also have a couple of solar panels and an inverter hooked up so I can run fans and lights without adding a lot to my household power bill. The photo is of the skylight today, and I think I might go check out the stars from inside the dome this evening (providing the sky is clear). Each thing I get done is one step closer to having it full of plants and the pond. 😀 And yes, I do consider it a gardening win. 🙂

Wishing you a Merry Christmas! May your Christmas Cacti stay blooming well into the new year! And may you all have a wonderful holiday season!

I’ve been procrastinating with getting my little hydroponic gardens done for weeks. Since the wind is whistling outside and the falling snow is blowing around, I decided today is the day. The last time I used them the plants didn’t do well, and I figured it was something to do with the water or nutrient solution. I finally realized that it wasn’t that at all; it was actually the fact that it was just too chilly where I had them set up. Today I put them on heat mats so will give everything a day to warm up and plant tomorrow. Maybe by then I’ll have decided what to plant. So here they sit, waiting for seeds. I will be planting a cherry tomato, some mixed greens, and maybe some broccoli. Aside from that, I’m really not sure. What would you plant?
