    What did you do in your garden today?

    I want to plant everything in the fall and let it come up when it's ready. I winter planted tomatoes (no germination), melons (great germination but all died) and watermelon (5 survived the rabbits and velociraptors). I have found 3 tomato volunteers, 2 squash volunteers, 1 melon and 1 corn...

    If you have extra seeds, just stick them in the ground and walk away. If they survive without tilling, without watering, they're adapted to your environmemt and their seeds will be even better.

    A couple of my tomatoes are blooming and one has a fruit on it. This weird weather we've been having is actually perfect tomato weather.

    Seed grown fruit trees

    The two grape seedlings didn't survive the winter. One plum appears to have survived, but rabbits got to it late winter and it had to come back from the root. Since I've been having a hard time with plums, a friend sent me seeds for a plum x peach cross and a plum x cherry cross. Plum x peach...

    Hydro-pseudo-aqua-fishies ;)

    I put in a new support system yesterday, so hopefully the tipping of the trays won't happen anymore. We'll see. I have rock and sand for a possible bio-filter, I'm just not sure it's necessary yet. I did some research on carp this week, and it looks like they reach breeding age at 3 or 4...

    Hydro-pseudo-aqua-fishies ;)

    Lots of possibilities. I originally had the fish in only one tank, but the fry are so tiny they go right through the pump filter. So they ended up in all four tanks, every one of them descended from a dozen fish from a pet store. :) I can think of ways to protect the duckweed (I still have...

    What did you do in your garden today?

    Stuck some moschata seeds by the herbs (licorice, marshmallow, lemon balm, catnip, oregano) to see if that keeps the borers away. Planted more melons, including watermelons. Got cucumbers in the ground. I need to decide where to plant the sweet potatoes. I primarily use them as a soil...

    Hydro-pseudo-aqua-fishies ;)

    Someone pulled up one of my old posts, and reminded me that I've never really discussed my fish/garden system. First, this is a trigger warning. If you're an aquaponics or hydroponics purist, for the sake of your blood pressure you might want to sign off now...

    Why bluefin specifically? I'm still debating types of fish. What's your setup?

    Then there's the type where the series has you thinking something entirely different than the end result. One of those has you getting on a bus, and at each stop people are getting on and off. Then the question is, "How many people got on at the first stop," or "What was the driver's name?"

    If a plane crashes on the border between Mexico and Canada, where do they bury the survivors? Or If a rooster lays an egg on the peak of a roof, which side does it roll off of?

    Is it the "want," or the "squish" that is morning dependent? Just fyi, I once broke a friend's brain by asking him, "If a man goes back in time and becomes his own father, where did the male genes come from?"
