I have found another blog hosting site- Wordpress. I am through with blogger, and will be moving my blog over with the new year (changing from kmgx3x to kmgx3xi).
My new blog can be found here:

12/21/10- 1st Day of Winter
Since I haven't updated in a while, I'll just throw everything together in one post.
First, here's the introductory video I took today to record my progress and give a virtual tour of the side yard.
Next, I have just returned from the hydroponic store in HB with a half sheet of a "styrofoam" raft to put in the fish tank for cover and to grow some lettuce or mint- just to get something growing. I also bought a starter package of rockwool A-OKplugs (98 1.5" plugs) to get some kale, cabbage, and cauliflower going as well. I already have the seeds for the plugs, going to get on google in a minute to find some heirloom mint seeds for the raft.
My mint raft idea came from Kalani:
Well, that's all I have to update, so I'm off to check for some mint seeds and start planting my cabbage, kale and cauliflower for transplants so I'll have to get the grow bed done in time for them.
P.S. While at the hydro store, I noticed they sell 50L bags of hydroton for $37. To get enough for my grow bed, it would cost $200 including tax, so I might go for the good stuff and spend a little more rather than trying to juggle around and get the lava rock that would probably end up costing over 200 anyway.

Lastly, my ice cream banana is going finally to fruit after 2 years! I separated one pup from it about a month before it went to fruit, so I can stop stressing about losing it. Two years ago, I bought it from a new company for under ten dollars, but since then the company has grown and to buy the same pup would be two or three times that amount now.
