Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Joel, it's a very pretty plant. It's not like the watercress I have which has a round leaf. Is that watercress still growing well?

I searched the species name and found that Scarecrow from ALS has planted some. Maybe she has some pictures as well.

Green Patch Seeds have both WATERCRESS - Upland (Barbarea vulgaris) and WATERCRESS - Lebanese (Aethionema cordiolum) for sale ...

see bottom of page under watercress...

They say Lebanese Watercress is "celery" flavoured....

thats where i got it green patch.

I'd like to find some of the one forest has..........i think its the true watercress.

Celery? Nah, carrot i tells ya! You cant quite put your finger on it until someone says carrot, then you can always taste it, true joel? LOL

seeds for N. officianale are available from Eden Seeds (ours is starting to do really well)

cart is filling up

just a reminder that greenpatch give ALS members 10% discount.

yep, it's pretty carrot flavoured, but I can see why people say cellery... Mine is just starting to boom again, it was set back by a thrip attack and haveing it's roots trimmed off by the fish, but it's starting to look good again..

nice system real neat, i think ill be buying the book and the dvd

good for you, ryan. We created our system from scratch, with no experience, just on the book, dvd and asking questions here.

We had our first harvest from the AP garden last night - a bunch of silverbeet. It was much crisper than the silverbeet in the soil garden. I steamed it so we got the true flavour. It was excellent!

We're really getting into AP now. It still amazes us that it's so much easier than soil gardening. All you do is feed the fish! No weeding, watering or fertilising, which we are always doing in the soil garden. Plans for another grow bed in this system are underway and we've decided to create a second system in a few months time.

Here are the fish taken at feeding time first thing this morning. They are H's toes, not mine, mine are much prettier.

Those SP are really going great f and thanks for providing the obligatory big toe, rang about my tank...another 2 weeks :deep sigh:
