 This is Black Seeded Simpson Lettuce. I'm going to eat it. Do you think I'll be OK? |

The leaves are very delicate, smelled like lettuce, taste like lettuce, Kind of bitter like arugula, like a drying affect in the mouth.

  This is the card that was on my shallot bulbs when I bought them. I find it interesting. Can you read that white bubble? |

Yes, it says that the holder of a SNAP (food stamps) card "may purchase all live vegetable plants, fruit trees & vines, including herbs in the garden center" of the store.

I think that's pretty cool  The term living food comes to mind and that feels good. You can't get fresher and probably not more healthier. |

For every radish seed you plant you may get one radish. For every shallot bulb you plant you may get 5 to 10 new shallots.

It's also cool that people on food stamps can go down to local co-ops and buy vegetable seeds and starts (like onion and garlic starts that are ready to plant) on food stamps, too. |

I bought a few more things for my indoor gardening today a small watering can and a largish pot.
When I'm fully operational I'll have grow lights suspended in all my windows and be using all of my windowsills and I will have a grow station using my floor lamp that I made when I was growing wheat grass. One of the things that I will be using at my grow station will be a big wooden stool that I have. I will grow stuff both under and on top of it and I can still put a folding table next to it and use my boom light for growing even more stuff.

Am I getting carried away with trying to grow stuff?

Maybe, on second thought, you may want to think about the energy draw that lots of lighting might produce. I would make sure that it isn't more than what people would usually use.
