My third system

A dewy kind of morning

This is so my favorite system, almost no maintenance on it except for pollinating and picking the veggies and fruit. I think my 1st cantalope is almost ready to pick, maybe another week as it is starting to change from green to the yellow tan color. I have been thinking non-stop on how to imporve this system for my needs and I think I am going to turn the barrels end to end next time for better access and run them the whole lengh of the green house in rows. I am short and do not have much reach so I think that will work better for me. I think one row for each nute similur plant so each row will have a nute tank specifically formulated for those plants. I still plan on doing lettuce vertically in the pipes and I want to try herbs, stawberries, corn and some root plants like onions and potatos (crazy since I can throw a rock and hit potato fields) but I want to try them.

There is nothing wrong with growing what is available near by. If nothing else it is a learning experience to let you know how it should you need to do it later.

Just counted 18 cantalope growing and pollinated another 6 today. Picked 2 more zuchinni's and I think I'm gonna try and make some zuchinni muffins.

I guess you'll be looking up some melon recipes, I've been meaning to try and make a melon sherbet myself.

It's kinda funny, but I'm alergic to melons but my son loves them and I have a huge family that eats it almost daily. My niece and nefew must think it is candy because they will eat melon before a sweet treat. They are 5 and 2 and will eat a whole canalope a day.
