Indoor gardening is largely a challenge of maintaining an artificial environment. Success or failure is dependent on the grower's ability to manage variables like temperature, air circulation, humidity and quality of light exposure. Once a gardener has a proven track record and is confident in their ability to manage all these factors the next challenge is increasing the amount of carbon dioxide within their grow space. George F. Van Patten offers gardeners a light weight introduction to the subject with his book Gardening Indoors with CO2.

Most gardeners living in Northern climates fall into one of two categories. There are those who garden year-around with the aid of a greenhouse and those who wish they had a greenhouse to garden year-around with. That said, some gardeners would be happy  with just a three season greenhouse to protect their young seedlings from a surprise frost or violent storm early in the growing season. Whatever the goal, greenhouse kits are often the first option considered due to their cost-effective and simple nature. An entry level greenhouse kit can start around $800.00 and can prices can reach as high $5,000. With Harbor Freight's greenhouse kits undercutting the competition by more than 50% we had to ask, what exactly are you getting for the money? |

Certain things just seem to make our lives more interesting. I'm talking about things like surprise birthday parties, winning lottery tickets and good hot sauce. Hopefully scientists will one day discover the means to reliably mass-produce a combination of all three. So long as such an ambition remains safely within the realm of fantasy the hard truth is that the only option we can genuinely count on any given day of the year is having a full bottle of good hot sauce ready in the kitchen. For the past several months I have been trying a relatively new brand of hot sauce known as Pete's Hydrohot. This wouldn't merit a full blown article on bilberrybrian.com if it weren't for the Scotch Bonnet and Hobanero peppers used in Pete's Hydrohot being grown hydroponically. Beyond this exciting fact it's also worth noting that Pete's Hydrohot turned out to taste great and raise my expectations of what a hot sauce should taste like.
