We have been very blessed with our aquaponics system and the continued growth of the fish and the vegetables even through this cooler fall season. One of the first reasons that we set up an aquaponics garden was to help off-set our food costs and to have something edible just in-case we needed it [...] 
The cymbidium orchids are starting to bloom. The above images is of the first batch this year. Three years ago Lyndsey and I picked up some of these wonderful orchids from my Grandma GG’s house. She has been growing different color cymbidium orchids for years and let us take a couple of different ones home so that [...]  Yesterday I decided to catch one of our larger tilapias so that I could try out a new recipe. Catching the fish is always an experience, especially when you fillet them. I find it easier to cut the head off of the fish entirely so that it is not looking at me while I try [...]  Do you know what GMO stands for? If you do not you are like most American’s that have no idea what it stands for either.

We have been crafting around in our spare time working on the aquaponics garden, finishing up the new chicken coop ad-on as well as building a new rabbit hutch for Dexter, our newest family member. I am excited to report that all of our gardens are [...] Recently we have had visits from some Swallowtail Caterpillars that are drawn to our fennel plant in the back yard. Last year we had the same visitors, so this year I thought that I would try to take some photos. The Swallowtail Caterpillars turn into colorful butterflies that are from the family Papilionidae. There are [...] One of things that is nice about our new place is the extra space that we have. Unfortunately, in our front yard we have a pretty big driveway but only a little yard space to hang out. So needless to say we had to be creative on where we would put our gardens. There is [...] This is a home scale aquaponic unit that I installed in our new backyard. It is a pretty cool unit because you can really get the jist of what is going on, as well as keep a good eye on the fish at the same time. I repaired an old 150 gallon fish tank by [...] The tomatoes took their time coming in this year, but it was worth the wait. Starting three weeks ago we have been in hog heaven with some of the best tomatoes we have grown yet. I decided to take a walk in the garden and pick what was ripe this morning, after filling up my [...] |
