In the first video I called them turnips but those are actually radishes. Oops!

I hit Finished too soon - *Blush* wondering if you are going to do an article or podcast including video on your aquaponics? That was really cool!

I guess I should. We have discussed the aquaponics here and there on the podcast but never in length. I'll do it in an upcoming show. Thumbs up

Great videos. I can't believe how fast stuff grows in the summer in the north. Things seem to grow more slowly here although they just keep going all year. I just ordered some Mexico Midget seeds, hope to grow them hydroponically.

Really nice videos! Thanks!

How will the young 'uns harvest the 'Mexico Midget' tomatoes? Ladders? I see they are indeterminate, so I assume they won't chop them down to harvest the tops.

While I'm thinking about it, I had a question about your two-person-shovel-based-weeding method. Wouldn't it be easier on your back with a long-handled shovel? Or is it helpful to have your eyes close to the weeds so you can avoid plants you don't want to chop down?
Just because it ISN'T complicated doesn't mean I can't MAKE it complicated!

2 of the "young 'uns" are now "young adults", and only barely shorter than I am!
