Three Plants in Bloom!

Aquaponics, Gardening

Had a surprise today. My tomatoes were already putting out flowers – and now they’re putting out bunches – but the strawberries have put out their first two blooms, and the blueberries were a complete surprise. The instructions for that cultivar stated that it could take up to two years for the plant to fruit, and just a month later we have berries on the way. 🙂

  • Heirloom tomatoes.
  • Garden strawberries.
  • Blueberries.
Triple bloom. 🙂

Aquaponics Update

  • Overview of the big rig.
  • Heirloom tomatoes in full bloom.
  • Strawberries in front, chard coming in behind that, basil in the center. The new drip wall going in in the back.
  • Strawberries in front. Kale in the center. Blueberries, spaghetti squash and leeks in the back.
  • Lettuce all the way (with one spaghetti squash). 🙂
  • The tomatoes (2 fruits just set) and basil in the prototype rig.
The current state of the garden.

The pipes behind what’s left of the basil are eventually going to go all the way across, so I will have 48 additional bays for plants like lettuce, chard, and strawberries.

Peace,
