    Default Updated hydroponic garden


    Well half of the tomatoes are doing fine. The other half are looking good, just not producing much fruit yet. Here are some pictures.

    Some of the Bella Rosa tomatoes


    The only 2 Beefmaster tomatoes that have shown up so far.

    And the first tomatoe that was picked on 6-27-16

    I ate the second tomato tonight and it sure was good! Had some flavor to it, like I remember them having when I was a kid, not that crap you get from the stores these days that has NO flavor at all! Overall, I'm really happy with my little garden.
    Cucumber and Zucchini are hanging in there but still no fruit has come to fruition.

    Hope you get plenty tomatoes. Slice and fry some of your zucchini when you fry fish. We like that, squash also. If you don't get any cukes, all you will miss is a bite of wet crunch followed by a couple belches anyway.

    They lasted the first year but didn't produce but they all died the second year. Don't know what happened.

    Looking good! Homegrown beats all the rest. Those Bella rosa are a really good variety

    Excellent post Dwayne. You're right, homegrown beats the crap what they have in the store.

    Dwayne those look great. I am going that next spring for my tomatoes. Last week I planted some tomatoes for the fall in buckets. I mixed compost, dirt, rabbit manure and put a 3 inch layer of wood chips on top to hold in the moisture. The plants doubled in size the first week. Right now I a keeping them on the edge of my patio and they don't get direct sunlight until 3pm.
