    Which is why it’s not going to solve the problem of a food crisis right now. Farming is a skill that takes practice.

      Look, I’ll say this much, it’s been fun giving it a go. My lettuces are shit but other things have worked and to be fair I’ve been pretty lazy.

        It does seem like a fun hobby. But not one for me. I live in a second-story condo and my balcony gets too much sunlight. It even scorched an aloe plant I set out, and by the time I put it in the partial shade, it was too late.

        I did have success with cherry tomatoes. The 10 my single plant produced made a nice snack after months of waiting.

      Wasn’t talking about the latest distraction. Was talking about lettuce.

      Farming takes zero skill. The first step to getting good at farming requires basic reading skills.
