Hydroponic Vegetables Online in Delhi NCR | Inhydrogreens

Hydroponic vegetables offer several benefits over traditionally grown vegetables, and here are a few of them:

Higher Yield: Hydroponic vegetables can produce up to 3-4 times higher yields than traditionally grown crops. This is because the plants are grown in a controlled environment with optimized growing conditions, such as precise nutrient levels and lighting.

Faster Growth: Hydroponic vegetables grow faster than traditional crops because they are grown in a nutrient-rich solution, and the plants can take up nutrients more efficiently.

Water Efficiency: Hydroponic vegetables use up to 90% less water than traditionally grown crops because the water is recirculated through the system.

Pesticide-Free: Hydroponic vegetables are grown in a controlled environment, and pests can be easily controlled without the need for harmful pesticides.

No Soil Erosion: Hydroponic vegetables don't require soil to grow, so there is no soil erosion, which is a significant problem in traditional agriculture.

Year-Round Production: Hydroponic vegetables can be grown year-round, regardless of the season, climate, or weather conditions.

Locally Grown: Hydroponic vegetables can be grown locally, reducing transportation costs and the carbon footprint associated with transporting crops long distances.

Higher Nutrient Content: Hydroponic vegetables have higher nutrient content than traditionally grown crops because they are grown in a nutrient-rich solution.

Overall, hydroponic vegetables offer many benefits over traditional agriculture, making them a more sustainable and efficient way to produce food.

My Weight Loss & Fitness Strategy:

Just like 2 years ago, I'm going to keep it simple.

Fitness:

Straight cardio no chaser. Not going to focus on strength building or weights at the moment. I'm going to be doing aerobic walking (via my Walk At Home subscription) and I will be doing an average of 3 miles every day (sometimes it may be less, like 2 miles, other times it will be more, like 5 miles. But every day minus rest day I will be doing anywhere from 30 min - 1hr of exercise). I'll also be adding in some 10 minute "warm ups/light walks" throughout the day, not so much as additional exercise but just so that my body can get some movement after it's been sitting in one place for hours.

I also know that I need to incorporate stretching and flexibility workouts into my plan as well. I always do a quick stretch at the end of my workouts but I definitely need to fit in some longer ones as well.

Eating/Diet:

This is where it may get questionable for some people, so let me state my disclaimer again: i'm not encouraging nor recommending anyone to do what i'm about to do. this is simply what worked for me.

So as far as eating goes, I will mostly be eating salads with an iceberg lettuce base with vegetables and protein toppings. I will of course still have some indulgences (I actually think it's important that you do, restrictive dieting is one way to regain your weight back quickly once the diet is over) but for the most part I will be eating salads and having certain veggies and fruits.

If this list seems rather small (especially compared to 2 years ago when i was also having oatmeal, green smoothies, etc. ) it's because I have now been diagnosed with SIBO, candida and chronic constipation (with is closely related to IBS). although I'm not going to focus on healing my digestive issues at this time, I also don't want to eat foods that are going to trigger them or make them worst.

I'm currently researching and looking more into this so my diet will most likely be altered along the way.

And that's all folks. I'll be posting daily updates with pics of my food (sometimes). This blog may get a bit fitblr-y for a while lol.

: ̗̀➛ Penny: Fluff Alphabet

A = Admiration (what do they absolutely adore about you?)

Your homestead lifestyle, and your similar values. 

Specifically she also loves that your sober, a working spouse, and want a big family (i'm assuming you apply to these because they’re deal breakers for her)

B = Body (what is their favorite part of your body?)

Your face, you’re just so beautiful and she loves admiring that beauty.

C = Cuddling (how do they like to cuddle?)

Same as Abigail’s if you read that chapter.

Lying down and hugging, legs and arms tangled together.

Lying on your chest.

Or if your sitting down, laying her head on your shoulder or sitting in your lap.

D = Dates (what does their ideal date with you look like?)

Cooking dinner for you at either of your houses, assuming this is pre-marriage for a minute.

i'd imagine she'd send you a letter, inviting you over on a night that Pam will be at the saloon till it closes.

you'd get there at 6pm, and as you walked in and got to the dining room, dinner was already spread out on the table.

Ice water, eggplant parmesan, garlic bread, and a small salad. 

plus a maple bar for each of you for dessert.

you'd spend the night eating, talking, laughing, and holding hands.

after dinner you'd migrate to the couch, falling asleep under a blanket together after watching a movie. 

bonus: Pam would get home tipsy, but see you two, she'd smile to herself and get to her room as quietly as possible, going to bed happy that Penny is finally happy.

E = Emotions (how do they express emotion around you?)

Pretty maturely, but she’s easily upset or shy. So if you seem mad or disappointed with her, she may just shut down. Please be nice to her :( 

F = Family (do they want one? If they do, when?)

She wants a lot of kids, as many as you’ll let her. 

Minimum 4 (another deal breaker for her), max 6-8. Not necessarily one after the other, she’s fine waiting multiple years between each kid.

She longs to raise children and give them a life of comfort, warmth, and happiness. Everything she didn’t have as a child.

G = Gifts (how do they feel about gift giving? What are their habits when it comes to this?)

She likes receiving gifts, it’s a minor love language of hers. She prefers useful and practical gifts. 

Examples: books, quality cookware, plants to decorate with, clothes, hair accessories, cookbooks, magazine subscriptions, coupons to shop with.

H = Holding Hands (when/how do they like to hold hands?)

Big on hand holding, she’ll hold your hand all the time

When sitting next to or across from each other, walking side-by-side, sleeping, anytime she’s next to you in some way.

I = Injury (how would they act if you got hurt?)

A bit panicked but she tries to stay calm as to not freak you out too.

Immediately rushes to grab the first aid kit and sit you down in the bathroom.

Cleans and patches you up, lightly scolding you for being so reckless if the wounds are pretty bad. 

Tells you to go rest for the day and makes you ginger ale and noodle soup. 

If the wounds are mild, she’ll just clean and patch you up and ask you to “Please be careful, honey. I really don’t want to see you get hurt.”

J = Jokes (do they like to joke around with or prank you? how?)

Her jokes are more intellectual and innocent like Maru’s.

Lot’s of jokes referencing her books, history, and art.

If you don’t get them, just pretend to and then research it later.

K = Kisses (how do they like to kiss you?)

Usually she just goes for a quick peck on the lips or cheek. Playful, cute, innocent. 

You may have more passionate kisses/make-outs if she’s in the mood. (but this is the fluff alphabet, so none of that here)

L = Love (how do they show you they love you?)

Acts of service. She’s lowkey a tradwife, so she loves doing things for you around the house.

I do NOT mean this in an incel fantasy way, she still teaches as a job, and she’s not going to wait on you hand-and-foot like a maid.

But she is clearly more of a domestic, caring, people-pleaser kind of person.

So think cooking for you and the kids, keeping your boots dry after the workday is over, doing your laundry, keeping the house clean, feeding the pet, decorating, shopping, etc…

And in turn she’d appreciate you doing (or paying to get these done) the yard work, house repairs, farming, yada yada. 

M = Memory (favorite memory together?)

The birth/adoption of your first child together. For her, that completely solidified your commitment to each other, she no longer had intrusive fears of divorce or cheating. Because if you’re willing to start a big family with her, you’re clearly in it for long haul, and WANT to share a life together. 

N = Nightmare (what is their worst fear?)

Two major ones. Divorce, or you becoming an addict. Now i don’t think she expects or thinks this will happen, just if you were to ask her this question, those would be the worst case scenario.

I think the addict one is obvious, her mom was (and is) an angry alcoholic, that’s the last thing she wants in a partner. She already had a terrible childhood, she doesn’t need an alcoholic partner to fuck up her adult life too.

And divorce is also obvious. But it’s specifically her biggest fear if you had kids together. What if your 3-4 kids in, and suddenly want a divorce. Now she either has to move back to her mom’s and raise her kids in the sad environment she grew up in, or they stay at your house and she only gets to see them ½ the time. If she had an actual nightmare about this scenario, it would keep her up the rest of the night and ruin her morning. 

O = Oddity (what is one quirk they have?)

Walks on her toes.

P = Pet Names (what do they like to call you?)

Love, hun, my love, dear, darling.

Q = Quality Time (how do they like to spend time with you?)

Deep talks, playing with the kids, experimenting new recipes, sitting on the porch and drinking tea before the kids wakeup, watching the sunrise/sunset, going to the bathhouse, picnics.

R = Rhythm (what song reminds you of them?)

Mitski: Washing Machine Heart & My Love Mine All Mine.

Taylor Swift: Teardrops On My Guitar, Enchanted, Lover, Style, Love Story.

Eyedress: Something About You.

S = Secrets (how open are they with you?)

Semi-open, she’s naturally reserved and closed off to other people. She especially doesn’t like talking about her feelings and past to just anyone. But the longer you two are together, the more she’ll open up. Just be patient and understanding.

T = Time (how long did it take you to get together?)

At least 2 years, probably more though. She is very careful with relationships, she has to really know and trust someone before she is willing to let them in.

This is mainly because she isn’t into “casual dating” or “situation-ship” stuff, it’s all or nothing with her.

U = Upset (how do they act when you’re upset?)

Quiet but present, she let’s you talk about it and listens intently before asking if you want advice or comfort. She’ll hold you while you talk, and afterwards play your favorite song on the record player and get you something to eat.

V = Vaunt (what are they proud of? Do they like to show you off?)

She doesn’t show it off, but she is very proud of her homemaking skills. Also how far she’s come in life and her resilience despite all the hardships and trauma. She does not show you off either, she prefers to keep you two private. Everyone knows you’re together anyway, why make a scene?

W = Warrior (how do they feel about you fighting? Would they fight for you, beside you, etc?)

She doesn’t like it, but she tries to remind herself that you know what you’re doing.

Though she does wish you would just leave the monster hunting to Marlon and Rasmodius.

X = X-Ray (how well are they able to read you?)

She thinks she can but she can’t very well. She seems like the type to think your upset when you aren’t, she’s a little paranoid because of trauma.

Y = Yes (how would they propose to you?)

She wouldn’t, she wants you to propose.

Specifically during a special romantic dinner/date.

Z = Zen (what makes them feel calm?)

Rainy days, bodies of water, reading, the museum/library, being home, the bath house, fresh air, spring mornings, summer nights. The night market is oddly comforting.

shaking crying screaming throwing up re: Desire Catcher (2019)

(Show CW: there is sexual violence involved in the core case. Please take care!)

I need to just ramble incoherently for a hot sec because oooooo boy the vibes are impeccable??

The TLDR is:

The two male leads have a relationship that's like Wangxian spiced with Pingxie. I know. I KNOW. The pining is off the charts, my friends. Truly unparalleled.

There is absolutely no romance whatsoever! (Except for the case where there are two men who adopt an abandoned baby together?? I mean?? ^_^) Huge win for the aros!!

If that's all you need, read no further, I shall not spoil. Come back and scream with me when you're done.

More detail below:

There are lots of surface-level similarities to Under the Skin: Frenemies-to-bromance male leads, one is a cop with a chip on his shoulder and impeccable dark/leather jackets, the other is a floppy-haired, khaki-wearing consultant with a peppy demeanor that hides deep personal trauma... but, honestly, I think Desire Catcher is what Under the Skin WISHES it was. (No shade if you loved Under the Skin -- I just personally wanted a bit more from it.)

The male leads, my goodness. Zheng Yecheng plays Lu Fengping, and Xin Yunlai plays Luo Fei. They are both so FREAKIN' good. Their characters at first just seem like typical archetypes of the stoic one and the bubbly one (WHICH I LOVE ANYWAY) but they take everything to the next level with their microexpressions that both reveal and conceal their haunted pasts, and extreme pining. Which leads me to...

The Wangxian of it all... *delighted sigh*... The person who wrote like the one fic on Ao3 in this fandom pointed out (much more eloquently than I'm about to) that Luo Fengping spends most of the show trying (and not knowing how) to save Lu Fengping the same way that Lan Wangji spends so much time trying (and not knowing how) to save Wei Wuxian. I won't spoil anything about their successes vs. failures in this post, but I have been turning around this brilliant point in my head for a week now and I am still vibrating at a totally normal frequency about them.

Which brings me to the devastating trope of how do you save someone who doesn't want to be saved? Yes yes yes OF COURSE this is a Mysterious Lotus Casebook reference. Come chew glass with meeeeeeee

And there's also: The Girl Cop!! (lol) Liang Yin!!!!! I ended up loving her. I need to watch the show again just so I can love her more, because the whole time I was worried she would become a love interest to one of the guys she shared a past with. But they all find solace and redemption WITHOUT romance!! What a concept!

Which brings me to another show this one reminded me of: the k-drama The Guest. That show also has a glorious polycule who are all connected through a shared trauma and need each other to heal. HOOK IT TO MY VEINS.

The case of the week stuff was pretty good. And by pretty good I mean completely devastating.

The big final plot resolution was a little werd ngl but you just gotta squint through some of the copaganda, shhh, it's fine

(The ENDING though.... literally just heart eyes all over the place, motherfuckers)

Look I know I said there wasn't any romance, but Luo Fei and Lu Fengping spend at least five minutes every episode pining at each other / into each other's eyes RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY SALAD while a dramatic ballad plays in the background, so, like. That's a thing. <3

Did I literally pay for the more expensive Viki subscription service so I could gif their pining in better HD?? Who's to say???

Cringe and Cursed Lin Kuei HCs

Tomáš Vrbada

The reason Bi Han hates him so much is because as a child he snuck into his room and waxed his balls while he was asleep.

He also got his Vrbadussy pounded by Kuai but we don't speak about that

At some point as a child he wanted to be like Bi Han so he continuously ate yellow snow hoping it would turn him into a cryomancer

He eats flowers when he's alone, that's why his breath always smells great

He got his ass kicked because he wouldn't stop saying "sticking out your gyatt for the rizzler you're so skibidi you're so fanum tax"

Tried to cook eggs and bacon on Kuai's face while he slept

Listened to 'Pumped Up Kicks' except it wasn't Pumped Up Kicks and he ate a shoebox

His nickname for Bi Han is "one inch wonder"

Kuai Liang

As the middle child he hated being ignored so he stuffed a moldy egg salad sandwich under Bi Han's pillow

When confronted he proudly admitted to it and got the ass beating of a life time but was happy to get attention

Pounded Smoke's Vrbadussy but said "IF YOU MAKE ANY NOISE AND BI HAN CATCHES US I'M GONNA BEAT YOUR ASS SO HARD YOU'LL BE SINGING 'WHAT'S MY NAME' BY RIHANNA"

Enjoyed twerking and bouncing a basketball with his ass

Identified as a furry so Bi Han made him use a litter box

Kept quickly running out of deodorant sticks because he thought it was lube

He wanted to know what "blue balls" were so he dyed his balls blue

Would not stop singing "pizza pasta put it in a box bring it here and put it on my cock the tortellini on my weenie pepperoni on the walls cheezy on my peeny and some sauce a on my balls"

Bi Han

Tried to dice up baby Tomáš and incorporate him into his salad

Also tried to turn Tomáš into a Thanksgiving meal

Taped baby Tomáš to the door

Took Kuai and Tomáš to McDonalds and held an employee at gunpoint for not having any BBQ sauce left

Got made fun of for buying Sareena's e-girl bath water

Pays monthly subscription of $27.82 for Sareena's OnlyFans account

Jerked off to Sareena feet pics except he didn't have a flesh light so he used Tomáš's peanut butter jar

Clogged the shower drain with pubic hair

Week 4 Farm Box!

Today we begin with a round of "What's That Vegetable?"

Here's our contestant:

I got it out of the swap box, in exchange for a lettuce the size a toddler. Here's the base of one of the bunches:

I haven't even started on last week's lettuce yet, and I still have some from Week 2. So I took this because it's A) Not Lettuce, and B) smaller.

Here's a sample leaf:

My best guess is Baby Bok Choy, but in the pictures I'm finding, the stems are wider and whiter than this. So I'm not sure if this is More Baby Than Usual Bok Choy, a different variety, or something else entirely.

On a related note, does anyone have recipes for baby bok choy/similar greens? I know it's good in stir fries, but they didn't give me anything else stir-fryable, and I hesitate to go out and buy more vegetables in order to use up the vegetables to whom I have already made a commitment.

Anyway, here's the rest of this week--we have a special guest star!

From top left, we have:

?? Possibly baby bok choy

Dandelion greens

A thankfully Smallish bunch of kale

Green garlic

Scallions

Asparagus

Thyme

Jerusalem Artichokes, and

--drumroll, please!

Strawberries!!!!

The strawberries are a surprise treat! The "what to expect" email from the weekend didn't include them, and then the "what you're getting" email from this morning said that they were out of dandelion greens and scallions, so we were getting strawberries instead.

I would 100% have taken that deal, but the more eagle-eyed reader may have noticed that I did get dandelion greens and scallions. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also, my fruit subscription doesn't start for a few weeks yet, and I'd heard that strawberries were coming ripe early this year in my area, so I was worried I'd miss them.

For this week my plans include

A big dish of strawberries with sugar on them

Roasted jerusalem artichokes and asparagus, probably with whatever fish I've got in the freezer (will use some of the scallions, garlic, and thyme)

Salad using last week's radishes and lettuce, I guess

??? Something using the bok choy/whatever, and ideally the dandelion greens and kale too--suggestions welcome!

I guess I could buy just some carrots and peppers, and then use those in both the salad and a stir-fry? And then the stir-fry could have a couple of radishes in it, too, along with greens, garlic, and scallions, and maybe some shrimp or something. Then I'd just need a sauce of some kind.

Ok, I signed up for the quarterly Carb Manager subscription. So I'm going to try that for my future fasts.

Good day on all counts, apart from my stupid body trying to hold me back. Hormones, genetics, diabetes. Pffft. Nope. Not happening.

Wonderful food, ending my eating window with an 8oz gammon steak, two fried eggs, peas and salad. A lovely treat at the pub where we've parked the motorhome for the night.

And very much welcome after a 27 mile bike ride with lots of steep ups and downs!

Plus we found a costa, to sit outside with our packed lunch a few miles towards the end. Extra shot cappuccino for me, thank you very much!

Life is good 😄.
