Hey guys, its been a quick minute.
Outside, all my straw bales are disintegrating, and all the tomatoes have fallen over. They're all about ready for the compost pile. Pill bugs got to my pumpkins about two months ago, so I ripped them out. The pill bugs are also drilling holes in my eggplant, and squirrels are chewing up every available tomato.
Cosmos and Marigolds are about shot, but I did manage to harvest some decorative corn and a sunflower the size of a trash can lid. Planted some wheat in one of the toxic railroad tie planter beds.
It's been getting down into the fifties at night, so I've begin the migration of things indoors. Pictured is my small indoor aquaponics setup. It's just a continuous flow in two tubs filled with gravel. The lettuce on the lower shelf needs a new light, and I think the marigolds are starting to rot instead of root. The tomatoes are trying to root in though!
I mainly didn't want to keep the goldfish outside all winter. Even with a heater they probably would have died. They're pretty cramped in this 10 gallon, so I might be buying another tank or stock tank for them to live in.
