I snuck out for the afternoon and went to Discovery Wildlife Park. It's near where I live and I had never been before. I would describe it as a small very casual zoo. We saw a variety of animals ranging

The basil is looking great! A few small pieces were used but still lots left to harvest. I think I'm soon going to be giving basil away to anyone who will take it! The tomatoes are being invaded by the

The water has been cleaing up for Gillbert. No idea what was going on with my sprouts causing so much water pollution but it's been nice to see Gillbert's water actually improve for once. I probably need

My wife did some trimming on our two outdoor tomato plants and they are looking amazing. The flowers are very prevalent and we even have a decent number of tomatoes starting to show. A few of the tomatoes

Well I tried to clean Gillbert's tank while talking on the phone today and the end result is not great. I've decided to completely remove the plants to see if that helps. I set the sprouts out on the deck

I think it's already time to start harvesting my basil. I leaves are huge and growing way ahead of my tomatoes. Maybe I can figure out a use for some tomorrow. Had to raise the lights again today. Too

It feels like every time I check on my garden I have to raise the light because my plants are growing so fast. I got fed up today and raised the lights way up in the air. Lets see you try and catch up

Plants are still growing at a crazy rate. Some of those basil leaves already look harvest ready. The basil is getting a bit ahead of my tomatoes but as long as everything has a clear path to the light,

We have two planter boxes growing in our backyard this year. The one pictured above has two nice tomato plants growing. They are different varieties of tomatoes. The one on the left will produce smaller

I still have my aquaponics setup running alongside my hydroponics. I've got a random mix of sprouts growing and my wife tell me they taste terrible. I've really struggled to find something I enjoy growing

Plants are flying up right now. Pretty decent changes since yesterday. Above is what two of my plants looked like today and below is yesterday. The basil (on the right) hasn't grown that much but look

I'm at a really fun place with my plants right now because they are growing so fast that you can see the changes between each day. It's a gorgeous sunny day outside here so I think my plants might be a

I recently restarted my plants and thought I'd introduce them to a few tribes! I have two tomato plants and two basil plants growing. Only had this running for a few weeks so it will be a while before

I've been MIA! The horn worm cocooned and eventually turned into a badass moth. Unfortunately he struggled as a moth and eventually passed away. Gillbert is still alive and well. He's the longest I've

Check out this badass my wife got! That's a hell of a worm if you ask me

My wife got two horn worms, how cool looking are these guys? Only had them a few days and still trying to figure out exactly what they like and everything but so far they are damn cool little critters.

I was a bit neglectful over Christmas holidays and the end result is a bunch of dead plants! I had such a good run with my tomatoes and basil but alas they are no more. Don't worry, Gillbert is still doing

I've been missing in action here lately. Not been loving the blogging experience lately so I took a break. I think I will probably try and do a weekly update or something moving forward so I can keep everyone

So many damn tomatoes on the go right now, it's getting out of control! I perfect row of tomatoes!

Nice green sprouts. Gllbert getting assaulted by my flash, whoops.
