SproutRobot Update: 1st Seeds Came In
My first package of seeds finally came in today. I was actually just about to contact SproutRobot to see if I would ever be getting them.

The seeds were separated in individual small ziplock backs with hand written labels. Each bag contained about 10 seeds. One was Green Beans and the other was Summer Squash

Tritium Glowrings
A few months back I came across an article that mentioned private contractors using Glowrings. At first I was puzzled, “what the heck is a Glowring?” I had never heard of such a thing.
