Great job! How many hours per day of sunlight would you say your plants are getting? And is there any tint in your windows?

I finally managed to set up a pump to water my plants- I have peppers, basil, romaine lettuce, bok choy, kale, and cucumbers growing in bottles of various sizes filled with a vermiculite/perlite mix (couldn’t find clay pebbles anywhere). I’m using a mixture of liquid seaweed and miracle grow to try to get all the necessary nutrients to my babies. Open to suggestions!
Hey Emily,
I am a journalist from Germany working on a story about windowfarms here in New York. Are you in New York? Would it be possible for me to come by and see your window farms? I can be reached at 718-902-6090.
Best
