Convention Starts Today

Im in sunny Florida where I plan to attend the Aquaponics Association Conference being held near Disney World.  Although my fish have not thrived, Ive had success wit my grow bins.  Beet greens are one of my favorite vegetables.  Beet sees planted in expanded shale dont grow bulbs, but they do produce a lovely crop of greens.  My tomato plants are growing lots of fruit.  I have tried growing seedlings in vermiculite to transplant to my grow beds but I have found that direct sowing of the seeds into the media is far more productive.
