Profile: I'll be writing up my experiences with butting my head against brick walls (also known as "Aphid/Spider Mite Patrol" aka "The Endeavors of Bug Quixote"), new cloning and harvesting techniques, and every piece of hydroponics equipment upon which I can lay my hands. I started gardening a long time ago. Mostly, I do it to teach me patience. You cannot rush Mother Nature. And, as impatient as I am, I find it a relaxing activity for me. I moved more towards hydroponics and indoor gardening after my little boy's baby shower. We passed around unlabeled baby food jars, tasting each one, and guessing what they were. When I tasted what was later disclosed as butternut squash, I decided that I couldn't feed it to him---ever. I make a killer butternut squash soup and this jar of orange gook was anything but. By trade, I'm a project manager for a large technology company. By night, my MBA does me no good as I roll up my sleeves and play with water, nutrients, and all things green and growing.
