In the garden, I mark out with a hoe the space for a new bed. This year, we’re once again approaching five hundred positions in the planters, and the self-irrigating Nil bed, formed as a walk-through rockery made of sandstone blocks, will easily fill up. In addition to the two existing production isolated spaces, we expand annually the opportunities for both education and replication of the best solutions from our history. I enjoy recalling the Growing beyond Earth project while working in the garden, where we provided data for machine learning within the winter garden biome with a minimum winter temperature of around twelve degrees, successfully overwintering many peppers and chilies. It’s amusingly ironic how peppers bear fruit for many years, even throughout the winter under extended photoperiod.
