Solar Low Solar Activity to Cause Temperatures to Plummet, Say Scientists

[Thinwater]

They will take credit for the lower temps, saying it is due to lower greenhouse gasses related to the shutdown.

Well, this has been the coolest May in north Alabama that I have ever seen in 33 years of living here!

BTW, this thread has pushed me over the edge in a good way. I've been eyeing some options on hydroponics kits, I will be picking one and getting it ordered this weekend.

Grr... I didn't get there yet. So many options, it locked me up on making a choice.

TB'ers - can anyone recommend a system that is is good for growing basic food and is fairly simple to implement? I want to grow stuff like lettuces, tomatoes, carrots, etc.

Basically, I want to grow salads. Maybe some stuff like strawberries.

My daughter has been messing around with the Kratky (sp?) system in her closet doing greens. She just has a little grow light. It works, we got salad a couple times. She wants to expand this winter so we will see how it works. Her goal is to get enough greens for a salad for us 3 days a week. There is a guy on here Stan something or other that I believe is a big hydroponic s guy. He did some posts a while back in the Gardening section.
