Hey all. Happy Harvest Friday! I’ve got a busy weekend ahead, so I’m going to jump right into it. Also, Happy Easter! Hope you have a great weekend filled with candy eggs and carrot cake. Aquaponics Updates We had a bit of a tragic incident last week. We’d been trying to lower the pH in…
Harvest Fridays – Aquaponics Update – The fish!
Happy Harvest Friday! When we last left off, our aquaponics system was up and cycling, but the water levels weren’t quite ready for fish yet. Now… we officially have fish! So far, we only have 10 goldfish (including Captain Blackfin and Albie– who isn’t gold, but an albino white) and 2 plecostomuses (Bert and Ernie),…
Harvest Fridays – The Aquaponic Garden
Happy Friday! Time to check in on the garden. It seems like so much has happened since the last update.

Harvest Fridays – I’m alive!
Oh, hey! I’m alive! Yep, it’s true. I made it through the new year. I do still exist. Nick and I flew out to Boston for the holidays and I pretty much abandoned everything else. I had a few posts ready to work on while we were on vacation, but once we got there I…
Harvest Fridays – Roasted Radishes with Radish Greens
Less than two weeks until Christmas. Can you believe it? I surely cannot. Especially since it was 70 degrees here a couple days this week. I’m loving it, and so is my garden! We’ve been harvesting tons o’ greens lately. Chard, beet greens, curly kale, Russian red kale. I’ve even been picking and eating radish…
