Tulip update 2011
I was lucky enough the week before I went overseas to see my tulips flower… just! I only caught them as babies, the timing wasn’t quite right – it was a shame I missed the whole show but glad I got a few snaps of what I did see to share with you guys.
PlantLab } Urban farming
This ain’t no underground rave party, unless you consider plants to be raging party animals – no, it’s the future of greenhouse growing, perhaps even the future of modern farming – large scale crops of vertical proportions, built to sustain the needs of growing population.
