Asparagus Update

Asparagus has germinated, this photo below is after about 5 days
Initial sowing : Here
I can see about 5 seedling and more should be coming.
Above close up of Asparagus seedling. This batch I will dedicate one growbed for them. It will take sometime for these to mature and start producing.


Asparagus is something totally new to me, I don't know what to expect. We'll see what happen, whether its growable in my Aquaponics set.

Time Out - Prawn Farm

Over the weekend went back to home town and I happen to pass by a Tiger Prawn Farm. Its a big setup, I only manage to snap few photos from outside its fence.
This place is located in Pekan, Pahang very near to the Pahang river estuary.
They are using mechanical aeration wheels to ensure those prawn get ample supply of oxygen.
Nothing much just few photos, I didn't get the chance to visit the complex.

Its raining cherries

Update of my cherry tomatoes, few pictures I snap this morning and it show all plants are fruiting and I expect they will ripen same time too.
Hundreds of tomatoes for the picking
This lone plant below also fruiting
Close up on one of the bunch.
It will be plenty once all of them ripen, so Tomatoes Cherries with Aquaponics - CHECK
This variety of Tomato plant is ideal for Aquaponics, no sign of white flies or that dreaded "bena putih" infestation, despite the normal Tomatoes in the adjacent growbed was attacked.
