Last summer, my father was giving us a hasty tour of Chelsea and the Manhattan's Meatpacking District, and we stopped by a wonderful place called Eyebeam Studios, one of the most diverse and innovative art and technology centers in the United States. As we browsed over the awesome projects they had, beginning or ending, one caught my eye. It was Eyebeams Hydroponic Windowfarm, towering ten bottles high. It was wonderful, and got me thinking a alot about food and where it comes from and how its grown, and how much we can reduce our impact on the enviornment if we take a little time out of our days to put love and care into the food we eat and prepare for others. I moved out to Colorado and decided to build a Windowfarm. Emilia Cabeza De Baca helped the most, and she still is. We had a wonderful season, our Basil plant did grew and grew, Emilia rescued it from a neglected garden. Our Thai Basil plant did exceptionally. Our Sage plant did well, until we realized we were giving it too much water and that it is a desert plant, we reduced water flow to its column and began to thrive. Our Mojito Mint plant did great from the beginning, exept for its ultimate demise when aphids got to it. Here's some photographs from our fall season, beginning in early October and ending late in December.
