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. When we last left off, we had just finished building the greenhouse and had started to put together the aquaponic system. Now we have finished installing the aquaponic system, started cycling the water, and have…
Harvest Fridays – Greenhouse Video Tour
Hi friends! I have a special treat for you today. My super duper awesome hubby made a quick little video tour of what we’ve gotten done on our greenhouse so far. I couldn’t make it myself because A. I don’t really know what I’m talking about, and B. I hate hearing my own voice on…

We had to remove three of our garden beds (which we back-breakingly installed less than 2 years ago!). It was…

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…
Harvest Fridays – Root, root, roots!
The past few weeks I have been harvesting roots of all sorts! Fall is all about root veggies and my garden is right on time. Check out these gorgeous (and huge) French Breakfast radishes! I know, they look totally weird. Aren’t radishes supposed to be round? Not these ones. These French Breakfast radishes are an…
