This is really my wife’s garden but she does not seem to have much interest lately. So for now I guess I will have to do more with it.

I took out some of the tomato plants I will probably take about a few more. We have had an extended 90-98 degree days but the fish water is 82 degrees. This is great last year I had trouble keeping it form going over 90. If it gets any higher I will they the heat exchanger at night to cool off the fish water. I might try it just to see how well it works.
The DWC (deep water culture) is doing better with the new fish and all the fish are eating more.

I sold two of my IBC containers (I got more than I paid for them) I really only need three to capture rain water. It is good to have them gone I need to start cleaning up the construction zone and get rid of things I got but did not use.

I keep just under 1,000 gallons of captured water to top off the system. I really think two 330 gallons would be enough total 660 gallons but I would like to have more than I need than not enough.

The tomatoes have grown up over the cables and more than 1/2 way back down to the bed.
