Closeup coming through, really slow uploading for some reason.

They "look" like Stayman

Thanks. The don't taste like much.

Cut out sugar and they'll taste like candy

Lol

I don't eat a whole lot of sugar. I mean compared the Golden Delicious down the hill, they dont taste like much.

Maybe it was just that one I ate.

Yeah those are better for cider

Good, were big cider drinkers.

Thanks!

Just poking fun

I know, no worries 👍

I've found a few of these around the property. Not sure what they are. They were under oak trees. Any ideas?

This hurricane is gonna totally ruin my aquaponics

@John M -#7072 looks like spring mix lettuce

I can't remember exactly what it was. I wasn't expecting it to do well in 90° Florida weather. The other stuff is radishes, beets, and onions.

There's a strain of Arizona and Jericho lettuce that does well in high heat. Yours looks great.

Thanks man, I've gotten pretty lucky. It's been overcast about 3 days out of the week every week for about 2 months.

Aquaponics is stupid easy. I highly recommend it. Just feed the fish every 2-3 days

Fish? There are fish involved?

Aquaponics is aquaculture+hydroponics.

Fish poop fertilizes the plants.

Ah cool I had no idea

Look into it. Mine is big and semi-permanent, but you can make a little one with a 2 gallon fish bowl.

Will do. Sounds intriguing.

You should switch to no till organic anyway

When I buy some property, I want to do hugelkultur

You don't need a tree. You can just get a huge pile of green wood chips. A place by my house has a 20 ft pile for free. They're low quality for landscaping, but perfect for composting.

Nice!! Anyone here read "teaming with microbes"

If not then I highly recommend it

This guy does good introductory level hydroponics videos, if anyone's interested

Go no till

What exactly do you mean by this?

You don't till the soil. Instead you focus on keeping the soil life healthy(from insects, to bacteria, to fungi, nematodes, etc)

Basically healthy soil life will make anything and everything your plants need, so instead of administering what you think your plants need, they instead have an entire nutrient buffet in the soil that they can draw from as they need it
