Great job. Please keep us posted. Do you have the research and build up of the system posted somewhere?

This is a trial run at a hydroponic system, Jiggity. Once we witness it's success, we will surely share the details of the set up. My DH and I LOVE the ride at EpCot (and since my DH works in the plumbing dept at HD), he decided why not give it a try? (Much of the growing research was online)

When I can make pesto, prep a salad, pick our own tomatoes, I'll get him to post his plans.

In the meantime, keep yer fingers crossed....

Spinach

Lettuce

Some of our baby sprouts have graduated! Lettuce, spinach, cilantro, and basil are in their new hydro-home...

Update on our mini Living with the Land....

Left to right in this rock wool:

-lettuce

-basil

-cilantro

-spinach

To the left of this set up are our patio tomatoes and Hungarian peppers. :yay:

We're very happy to have my parents joining us for a trip to the Fort in June. :yay: I've called and reserved a cabin (ADA one) and am currently researching the best deal out there for a scooter for my dad. He's a vet with disabilities related to agent orange and, of course, old age.

Anyone have a direction to send me for cheap rental?

Is it weird that I get excited to open this thread every time I see it bump up?

I love posting! It's funny to see my DH and I rush to the basement to check the status of our little "sprouts". We're so proud. They're like our children...only they stay put and don't talk back.

Guess the seeds that are sprouting now...

:yay:

Update on our mini-Living with the Land...

Tiny little seedlings of banana peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, basil, cilantro, and spinach are sprouting from the rock-wool. Almost time to insert into the hydroponic apparatus. :yay:

My DH is using the pass. He didn't get an AP last year, so this works out perfectly.

DS12 has signed up for Marine Bio and History of Animation. :yay:

I like the idea of using it to start your plants to transplant to the outside garden and then reusing it for herbs/spices afterwards. Looks pretty cool. How big is it?

4' x 6' ish

As lucrative as this "field" of opportunity may be, the extent of paraphernalia we grow may be a plant or two of catnip... :)

I'd like to try fresh herbs. Basil, chives, parsley, thyme, etc. Maybe a bit of catnip or greens for our kitty...

My DH is thinking of seeds to start our garden indoors. Tomato, green pepper, cucumber, beets, beans, etc.

We'll see... :)

After this past Christmas trip, my DH thought it was time to bring a little bit of EpCot ingenuity home. After watching a few YouTube videos and research, my DH threw together his own plans for a hydroponic system in our basement.

So proud of him...

Next step...lights and seeds!

Never mind...I got my answer today. Called and confirmed that tickets can be picked up anytime before the class. Sunday included.

:)

Since I have an AP burning a hole in my purse...and my DS12 would love to take a class...AND a darn sickness ripped me of the last couple of days over Christmas...

I'm looking to sign up for one class but see that we need to be in Disney before the day of the class. The class is on a Monday. We arrive on Saturday night. Does advance pick up mean on the weekend too? (there is NO way we will make it by Friday, an there is only one class offered)

Anyone?

Great TR so far. Glad to see pictures INSIDE of Be Our Guest. We never made it past the "guards", since we could get a reservation for 12 during the holiday. (Yeah, we waited and lost out). I love the gargoyle guy poles across the bridge too. Very cool!

Tattoo brain guy? Probably needs to advertise, in case his actions speak otherwise.

Oh, and thanks again for the Spike!! Still think Lou is an imaginary fiend...Keep hearing that he was "just here"....yeah, ok...

Keep the photos coming. :yay:

Not in trouble at all!!! Glad you didn't catch this mess!!!

Well, Jen, I teach as well...and ended up with a stomach virus while there. So much for a strong immune system! My 1200 mile trip down ended with the shivers, shakes, and the shhhh...

Carol, despite the crud, you took some great photos. I hope the next time we meet, we're all healthy.

We're managing a group of 12 here. 4 in loop 1500 and 8 of us on 620. My sis and bil plan to take a handful of the younger crew to Legoland tomorrow, so it's in my plan to sneak away with DH and meet a few fiends. (Carol was just a blip in the night as she magically appeared with her air mattress)

Well we left today, but will be back on Friday, hoping to be in 1641. Please come by, would love to meet all of you. Deb sorry we missed you this trip, but please come by next week. Also don't forget that there is a GG on my site New Year's Eve, trying for 6:30. I have to come back to Tampa that morning and work so I will be back around 1

We'll put it on our to-do list.

Happy Camper is ready to be spiked too! Site 620...until Jan 4th. Would love to meet more FF pals in person.

Purty Please...... :)

We're there from the 24th to the 3rd... :yay:

Thanks, Aaron. My dad is being admitted with a bacterial infection and a close watch in his liver.

My DH is back to work with restrictions but definitely feeling WAY better...

Flight 93 sight will take your breath. It was my daughter's senior year tour. Watching her stand in silent salute as a memorial wreath was placed at the crash site will forever be imbedded in my head. Watching her hug a member of a victim's family right after will stay in my heart forever...

Aaron, with seven years in the Plymouth Fife & Drum Corps, our family has visited many unique places. USS Yorktown is neat, Boston is filled with history, NYC is exciting...

If you ever get the chance, I recommend stopping by the Flight 93 memorial too.

Aaron, this is a stitch of a TR!

A few things...

#1- your DW has great taste. She and I have the same 31bag/pattern. (I'm sure ths matters to you)

#2- I am craving cream cheese cinnamon rolls.

#3- living in the home town of the Daisy Rifle Factory, I was glued to each of Ralphie's home photos.

#4-I know exactly where my DH and I will spend our 23yr anniversary!

Keep it coming....

Great start (minus the red thing)...

Looking forward to hearing more....
