I keep forgetting to announce new versions so here is my recent build. I’m working on a complete rewrite of the code and will limit development on the v1.x code unless any serious bugs come up.
The update includes a fix for a problem when you try to start a new game while a game is currently running. You can auto-update to the recent version if you have the game installed or download the setup file below.
Since I first started growing plants this year, I’ve focused so much on learning when and how to feed and avoid disease that I completely forgot about hurricane season. This is no problem for the plants I’m growing in-doors but it’s a different story for the 4ft plants outside. I’ve learned a lot so far and I have a feeling I’ll be learning much more on how to care for out-door plants inside our apartment. I’m thinking of picking up a new light fixture for the plants inside and might have to accomidate the two pepper plants if the weather gets worse.
I moved some of the best looking herbs out of their starter “molds” and into larger peat pots. I still have some younger looking seedlings growing and might have to put them into a box together possibly near a window.

Basil
Habanero Pepper
UPDATE:
I just picked up a new light fixture and some pulleys to easily raise and lower the lights or adjust for plants that are growing faster than others.
I’ve been thinking about some ideas for my site/blog recently. With the layoffs at work coming up, I might look into offering a PC repair service for a fee (finally). I’d use either this domain or another one that I purchased as the portal. Another idea was to use one of the domains as my personal website, with my blog/twitter, social networking links, PC support, and whatever else I can think of. I just don’t know which content management system will be the best. Also, I’ve been using twitter more often then my blog and I’m not sure what to do. I know a lot of people use twitter for “micro-blogging” in between their actual blogs, but mine would just be am accumulation of the tweets.
I’ve been looking for new interests and after seeing Ian’s porch garden, I was inspired to start my own. It’s turning out to be an enjoyable hobby so far. I can already tell how excited I’ll be during the first harvest. It’s going to be a long project and will test my patience. I’ve gone through different attempts at growing from seeds but had little success. None of the seeds I had germinated with the exception of a few basil that reached sprouts. Currently I have a jalapeño and an orange bell pepper starting to produce some fruit. I have a mini-green house waiting for my next attempt at growing from seed. This time I have rosemary, sage, cilantro making up the herb side and Santiago hybrid, cheyenne, and Portugal hot on the pepper side.
