One day we found that our basement apartment had grown a little stuffy. After reading that Gerbera daisies are excellent at cleaning the air, we promptly purchased a yellow daisy for the corner of the room... and then a pink daisy... and then a majesty palm... and then some ivy... and so on until we had two rooms full of plants including fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers growing in soil, soilless mixes, hydroponics, and aquaponics.

This is the story of our garden and how it grew in a basement apartment from a single yellow daisy.

New Strawberry

The first strawberry we harvested from our mother plants growing in soil. Unfortunately, the fruit was still unripe at the top even though the bottom was already starting to break down. In addition, the strawberry was rather tasteless. This might indicate a potassium deficiency, so I will be increasing the concentration of Foliage Pro that I am using to feed them.
