Hydroponics

Today we went around (we being my child development class) to a bunch of organizations in Yonkers. This picture was taken at "The Science Barge" which is a really neat, totally self contained (except I don't believe that), gardern. The vine plants hang on these poles near the ceiling of the greenhouse, and just hang. The melons look particularly silly, just hangin' there.

These are tomatoes.

The leaves are starting to fall

Pumpkins

Fiona and I carved pumpkins last night.



Hers is a British flag, of course because she is British, and it is wearing a hat, and the piece cut out of the top is in the shape of a heart. Brilliant. She also toasted the seeds and they were rather tasty.
