Harvest time !

So finally we could harvest some cabbage (both types) and also the red radish. The only drawback with the radish is that it is difficult to get a bowl of radish as they usually don't grow at the same rate !

First bowl of Bok Choi !


Second harvest


Tomatoes look promising ! And we are still in Winter...



So we still have these vegetables growing:
  • Tomatoes (multiple plant as it is easy to take a sucker and grow roots out of it),
  • Red radish (almost gone, need to start a new batch of seedlings),
  • Bok Choi,
  • Chinese cabbage,
  • Strawberries (I just discovered a ripe one after 6 months),
  • Mint (3 types),
  • Basil (3 types),
  • and finally Coriander ! This one came out after 4 months...
I killed the squash at they never bloomed and started to look bad... and they were sucking all the water !
We also ate the Red Romaine... just average. I'm not sure I'll grow more seedling as they are quite weak and tend to die.

As you can see, I upgraded the water distribution with quick connect 1/8" pvc pipe (from taobao, water reverse osmosis kits). I have a good flow (enough) and it is easy to connect/disconnect grow beds.
