Well hopefully they'll be weekly updates

I've been travelling with work and haven't had the chance to check the yard first hand.

Aquaponics

My aquaponic tomatoes have been growing out really well, so well in fact that it looks like the fruit bats have got into them. So I'd had enough of my tomatoes going to ruin, needless to say they've all been harvested green. Now to cook them up and make some 'Mean Green'.

This has left my aquaponics bed a little empty, so today we got some bok choi, chinese cabbage and spinach to fill it all out.

The second system had been on hold whilst I've been away, so today we got all the piping and connections for the 'solids lifting overflow'. Next job is set this up in the 1000 litre fish tank.

Our Dirt Garden

Our dirt garden is going well with the sweet corn and onions powering on. The corn should be ready for harvesting in the next 3-4 weeks. Really looking forawrd to some home grown goodness.

Today we also picked up a couple of rosemary seedlings to put in the dirt somewhere in the yard.

Native Bees

The bee hives are still humming along so we must be doing something right. The second hive has well and truely surpassed the first hive I purchased. So much so that I've now added the 'super' to it all. This hive will need to be split in the spring I think.

Poultry

Not much happening here, they are eating food and are yet to start laying any eggs. I'm starting to think about getting a couple of broiler birds for the pot.
