#leek
Hydroponic leek from an outdoor #IKEA #Växer (small 3x4 holes) unit.
Kept one unit on the balcony and turned it into #DWS using solar panels and air pump.
Tomatoes and parsley didn't do well out there but leek seems to have gone wild and have thick juicy leaves.
Not at tall as those I planted in soil and the white part is not as long as those but overall it is a great vegetable that is going to be my #leek and #garlic #omelette today.

Another major batch of #parsley from one of #IKEA #Växer units.
This time is about 700g and going to freeze them while waiting for the next batch to grow (I have one more with parsley, one with #leek, #coriander, #mint, and #dill that are not producing as much. Each unit has 15 grow holes. One is almost empty. I am missing #taragon and I'm missing Iranian Shanbalileh (شَنبَلیله یا به فارسی دری شینبل (نام علمی: Trigonella foenum-graecum) ) to have all vegetables I need except to spinach that is not worth growing in small space that I have to be self sufficient in having all necessary vegetables for cooking different Iranian dishes.
This single Ikea unit has givene 5 batch of parsley since I started it and ther are no sign of decline as ww are getting closer to summer.
It has already paid off the initial cost I paid for it and from now on, it's all profit. Next it trying to setup the Mimi tower unit to grow them with solar powered water pumps and sunshine (no artificial LEDs for this trial.
Just need to buy some fertilizer because running low.

Food from Scraps
Last Fall and Winter we did an experiment for fun to re-grow different food plants from the cut off pieces that we would normally just compost. Here are some of the results.
Plants we used: #Celery, #Romaine Lettuce, #Bok-Choy, #Beet Tops, #Parsley, #Leek
