The Morchat Farm was put to the back burner as the 32+ days of over 100 degrees weather lingered on in the B/CS. School started and I just couldn’t keep up with teaching the next generation fractions and maintaining a soil garden and aquaponics garden. The aquaponics system is pretty self managing right now, but the soil garden needed too much water to keep the one pumpkin alive… so I opted to just water my trees and pray for rain. I also found some fun in an iphone game called “Farm Story” here is a picture of my small farm. Everything is free and you get paid to grow veggies… what else could you ask for?!
I started getting the Aquaponics system ready for cooler weather by cleaning out one of my beds. The root system of the spearmint was crazy! It literately took the entire bed. I shut it down for now until I can get it cleaned out and ready for Fall veggies!
The clean out
My Blue Gill are doing great and growing quite well!
Even my Chilli Peppers can make it in this heat!
We spent the weekend in Wimberly, TX with some great friends. The Pletchers drove down with us and we were pumped to get to spend time with friends over the Labor Day weekend!
