Greenhouse

My friend and coworker H is one of the volunteers keeping the station's hydroponic greenhouse running this winter. I didn't pick a very good time to take pictures, as the greenhouse was in a transitional state and isn't looking particularly fecund here. We had a few weeks without lettuce while things were cleaned and sanitized and new seeds started. But this room is very important to us now that we're well into winter and the last of the freshies sent in from New Zealand in February are pretty much gone. From now on, if we want anything that hasn't been frozen and in storage down here for years, potentially, we have to grow it. So I'm grateful for H and the greenhouse!
