I find it facinating, that no matter how many times I ran this through, it always put a person in the image. A Deva perhaps...?

Updated for modern times. Lol. Some days I do feel that old though... 🤪

Been playing with Midjourney to come up with some interesting images. Think I found the cover of one of the aquaponics books I'm writing. 😮 There is just something so mesmerizing about this image...

Stay tuned...

Even Volunteers grow amazingly well at our farm! Just loving life in the LECA storage area. :)

Can someone say Basil?

The best basil comes from environments that have hot days and cold nights. During the day, the plants oils are released and at night they condense.

This leads to exceptional flavor and aroma. Yum!

We harvest to order, with roots attached, so all you have to do is put the roots in some water and your basil remains fresh until you're ready to use it.
