Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Noticed this morning that the honey eaters are going nuts out the back, first time iv heard them since autumn, and there making up for it with there racket!!!!

Wife just woke up and come out a little disgruntled that she has been woken up by them noisy little buggers...

cant believe how fast all this year has gone and with only days counting now til spring i dont think iv ever been so happy to see it

my thoughts on the day

Cant wait for it myself. This winter has been dreary and overcast
Bring on some sunshine I say

Bring on the rain looks as if it is going to be a very very ordinary year for the farmers around here (Northam) and on another note for all those around Kojonup and Narrogin there is an infestation of green peach aphids getting about and they have a slight chemical resistance

No problems Gnash... just paint your peaches orange... that ought to confuse the little blighters...

they are already confused....they are in the canola crops

this has been the mildest winter here for years we only had 4 days under 10 degrees (go on laugh you lot ) but it has been pretty warm here all year

Alice has had a real mixed bag this year with some good steady soaking rain interspersed with some clear sunny days and very chilly nights
The the coldest our AP water reached was 11 degrees and this was only one night in June for the rest of the time hovering around 14 degree mark until the last week when the water warmed to 17- 18 degrees the Silver Perch were starting to become more active and I began feeding them again, thought it was the start of our spring Last night clear starry still night and frost probably our coldest for the year and looks like we're in for more!!
Who can predict

Yeah a dead ordinary winter

I wont say how much rain Perth got as it isnt worth mentioning.
Mind you c'mon spring. I have 12 Tomatoe plants 6 weeks from seed in an indoor hydro system that is going to burst if i cant get them outside soon.

Mark

Yeah, my tommy seedlings are struggling in the greenhouse with all this overcast dull weather. If its gonna be like this then rain, dont just cloud over and do nothing

Mine are recycling with a 70l container and a heater at 22 degrees and a 200w CFL so they are happy growing. But, if i have to wait another month they will be to hard to move.

I agree though probably a wet spring to stuff the cricket up

My tomatoes are half way up the wall in the sun room. And i've got chillies coming up and a lot of pumpkins.

Nice one i 4got to plant chillies dammit. Did you grow all from seed or seedlings. Mine was a new system started 14th June.

Then i discovered Aquaponics and my head is busting.

All from seed.

Nice will they move outside soon or stay in the sun room

well I fixed that "mild winter" thing


it's 7 degrees
