Oscar the fish has now been with us over 2 1/2 months!!  So far so good.  And like a good little meat eating fish, Oscar has been busy adding his particular brand of nutrients to the aquaponic water.  Imagine our relief when the growth stunted tomatoes started to ripen!

I haven’t done many updates on our aquaponics system, but I’ve been considering pulling out the existing plants and making a run at growing fresh spinach at home for my morning omelette.  Thus far I’ve extracted the top portion of one of the two rather large tomato plants, but I’ve yet to attempt to pull out the roots system.  Of course now that these tomatoes are growing and ripening again, I’m having second thoughts.  In the meantime, I’ll be enjoying this Yellow Boy tomato on a sandwich real soon.

Stay humble …. God Bless!
