We love plants! Especially edible ones!
At Kemmons Wilson Culinary Institute, at the University of Memphis, they are growing an assortment of herbs and lettuces in the hydroponics lab. Some have been used in HPRM 2012 Introduction to Culinary class. Yum!#universityofmemphis#plants#herbs#vegetables

Did you know we have entered into a new partnership with The Daily Memphian? Look for the MWN 5-day forecast in Monday's #EarlyWord, a weekend forecast on Thursdays, plus periodic articles of interest. The first, a winter outlook piece, appears to have been well received)! 👇
