You know what I'm looking forward to more than Christmas or the New Year? Winter solstice! Lack of sunlight is really getting to me. My productivity is way down, all I want to do is eat comfort food and sleep. I'm seriously considering buying a small grow light system or maybe an Aerogarden so I can still enjoy vegetable gardening in the winter. Paying extra attention to my houseplants is just not cutting it. Anyway, onto to the links:
