I planted mine in February, not many plants available at the time around here.

I was catching up on my emails and followed up one only to find a lovely story about my own open garden on someones blogspot. Justclick on the linkandvoila

At the time the net pots were just sitting in a grow bed about 1 inch deep but no moving water and no nutrients at all. They do not seem to have put on any leaf growth but they did fruit.

You're just getting too famous Faye. Beware! The paparazzi are next :-)
You'l never have privacy in that lovely garden again!

It'll be okay I will just make like a fairy and hide in the garden!

thanks for that Faye.

interesting stuff. i guess this would indicate that the energy needed to put on fruit was stored in the plants prior to moving.

how long did you have them in plain water?

what did you do with them once moved? i gather they went into an ap system?

were they flowering prior to moving or full veg?

all the best.

They must have sat in the straight water for up to 3 weeks and as they were looking really good I planted them in my system at home ready for the mega big, huge open day where over a thousand people would see them.

I can't remember if they were flowering when transplanted?

The rhubarb is doing really well and the zucchini are starting to fruit.

The sign looks fantastic Faye...do you think you could get some pretty ribbon or some chrissy lights to make it a focal point...maybe chorio it to music...and some dancing elves with smiling AP faces

sorry...got a bit carried away

it does look nice tho...the sign that is.....do it...a few EB elves

Well it is funny you should say that Elk, I thought fairy lights might be nice.
Now about the music, just the other day I was looking at my monarch butterfly caterpillars when the dog started barking at sirens. The caterpillars startedf licking their tails (soto speak), do you think they would do the same for rock'n'roll music. I should test, shouldn't I.

I think that would set it off nicely...just remember to keep the flowers fenced in when EB is around

Fairy lights, metal halides... same difference. Gives you an excuse to leave them on at night... Throw up some coloured bud lights to convince the neighbors. Get a bit more growing time over summer...

Good god faye next you will be quilting (I'll have a red number )

That was a past fad Gnash, don't you know aquaponics is the latest
