Thanks! My first attempt at hydroponic lettuce grown in perlite alone. I was lucky to have some very hearty seeds from Andriy, so Siberian lettuce likes to grow everywhere.

They went through a strong heat wave, high 90s extremely dry conditions, and came out unscathed.

I just ordered some more lettuce from High Mowing to double down for the winter crops.

Lots of Kuroda and Tonda de Parigi carrots sown recently too. The tubes will be hard at work.

I have to say, subirrigated plants sure seems to dig the osmocote slow release.
