This project is still a go, but admittedly, it isn't going anywhere very fast.
Earlier this month, the long awaited attempt at growing stuff began. However, it hasn't gotten far, as the tomato seeds didn't germinate.
It faked me out for a few days, but the seeds only STARTED to germinate slightly before dying off.
So now I'm trying it for the second time with a new batch of seeds. I'm keeping the same soil, and only making some slight alterations. The best I can figure, it was too hot in the van, and the water evaporated too fast.
So I made a hanging basket kind of thingie, and now this thing will be attempted that way. The hanging basket isn't really a basket. It is a used soda cup with a shot glass inside of it. The glass is to admit the light. The soda cup was punctured with several holes, though which some old shoe laces were inserted, so that these could provide support while it hangs from a hook.
Hopefully it is in a place where it can get enough sun. Being out in the open will keep it from getting too hot, and being inside a transparent object will protect from too much wind. These are the ideas. Time will tell if it all works.
Aside from that, not much happening on this front. Until later.
