Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I've seen some other folks posting their difficulty in getting seeds. Some folks have suggested getting some seed or shoots at an Asian market to start off. I'd certainly like some seed as well.

I wonder if we might be better off simply growing sweet potato for greens instead and keeping it pruned back severely? It is more available and closely related.

What veggies grow fast in your AP? You know, like weeds.

All species that we are going to grow in AP will do best growing at there own best rate.
For example : Sweetcorn on average will take 77 days to mature(produce an edible cobb) from seed.
: letuce 4+ weeks
: peas (which you should be about to plant) take about 8 weeks til harvest
if you catch the moon phase

So nothing I am aware of grows faster in AP, though sometimes better, and definately more
water efficently...

I planted sweet peas, but they are not doing much. Summer is coming here. "Aren't" peas a spring crop?

Ooops that was for Aussies ( southern hemi)

I love swiss chard! For some reason mine is not grow all that fast in the AP, now that its getting hot it seems to be coming to life. Is chard a cool/fall/spring or summer crop?

I think it is a spring crop...
Normally runs to seed in the summer months.
A lite feeder and happy in shade

Ok, cool. I have planted under the corn and behind the tomatoes. Its seems to be a all season long type of crop too!
