A Tennessee Republican state lawmaker says he’s worried Tennesseans might overdose on vaccines if they eat too many tomatoes.

State Rep. Scott Cepicky claims vaccines can already be added to foods like lettuce and tomatoes, and to tobacco products, so he has filed legislation to require grocery store items containing vaccines to be labeled.

“University of California Riverside has already perfected the ability to put human vaccines into our lettuce right now,” Rep. Cepicky told his fellow lawmakers Wednesday while discussing his legislation. “Also, tomatoes, has the ability to do that also per UC Berkeley. And then big tobacco, RJ Reynolds and stuff has perfected the ability to put a human vaccine in tobacco products.” ...

Using a 1L bottle with 2 holes about 2cm bellow the top is helping to feed the plants in the #IKEA #Växer system with constant access to water and nutrients.

I believe that was the main reason most people who bought the units failed to enjoy it and had to resell it at low cost or simply keep it in storage unit they throw them away.

Good for me since I bought all but one unit from the French web site LebonCoin at a fraction of the price of what they were sold by IKEA.

On this unit, I have 4 #tomato plants, 1 @parsley, one giant #mint and 2 radishes. It's consuming about 1L per day as tomatoes starting to grow, and maybe have to give more water and nutrients to help producing more in the coming weeks.

These little guys are helping me more than my medication to calm down and relax from the daily stress and troubles.

Everyone who has ever sewn has a tomato pincushion... our Grandmothers, mothers, aunts, literally everybody, and I wondered why. Well, according to folklore, people once thought the tomato was a symbol of good fortune and prosperity so when people moved into a new home they placed a tomato on the mantle. Since tomatoes are only seasonal, the ladies would create them from fabric and fill them with leaves and things from the outdoors.
During this same era the ladies did all the sewing for their families and their hand needles were very important, so they placed their important hand needle in their fabric “good luck” tomato and the tomato pin cushion was born. When I think of the pin cushion, I see my grandmother’s wrinkled hands, the bright red tomato next to her, sewing away. The tomato may not bring prosperity and good fortune but it definitely has nostalgia. 🍅

First fully grown TinyTim #tomato plant growing in mini #Kratky Hydroponic

I now know Tiny Tim thrives in the mix of vermiculite and Perlite and my fertilizer seems to be doing great to help it grow healthy leaves and lots of flowers.

I am afraid 1L container is not enough for it and may have to find a way to feed it from a bigger reservoir.

PS. Note to self, put date on the seedlings to be able to document it for future!

3 different seedlings growing in different condition

All 3 were planted at the same time.

The one on the left was put in vermiculite substrate fed with heavily fertilized water.

The one in the middle, is in clay balls and same fertilizer mix.

The one on the right is in soil and not fed anything since the pot mix is 30% compost.

The difference is amazing.

I wonder if people would buy packs of #fertilizer in small packs for 20L #kratky
#hydroponics with instruction on how to use them.

I make them for my use & found it really time saving to prepare them in advance to just mix them with water when my plants are germinated & mature enough to be transferred to bucket.

I make different ones for #tomato, #pepper, #cucumber, #melon, #eggplant. each pack will be about 5 euros.

Mini Kratky Tiny Tim Tomato is having some problems!

First of all, it is growing much more on one side making it hard to keep in place.

Second, my silly laziness let the algae grow on the roots and the wick of the plant so i have to wash it off now.

Going to put some extra reinforcement on the side and put aluminum foil around the bottle to prevent the light to get in and cause algae growth.
