Wife and I are competing with hydroponic tomatoes. Mine are on the left, hers in the right. Both are fruiting.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Just fun.
We do our own thing, between pruning, germinating, doing nothing, etc. Whoever gets better tomatoes wins.
What do you win?
Some good tomatoes
Dat a good price
Thats awesome. Bet there is some fun banter over them at dinner time haha. Have you two done this before?
Hehe first time. My wife especially is so excited for fresh vegetables. It always makes her really happy.
This coming spring I want to tear up the flower bed in our backyard that we have done nothing with and plant more vegetables, and maybe even some berries if we can. I feel it will be more difficult for pest control, but it still will be fun.
I may even tear it up before winter and throw a bunch of compost down with some mulch. Plus it helps pollinators if you put some leaves and stuff down
Plus we always have our indoor plants. We have a tower in our basement with a bunch of lettuce that we are going to restart soon, and maybe do some little eggplants or herbs, or something like that. Strawberries, if I can find a way to grow them, would be amazing.
