Zucchini, yellow squash, cucumbers, and 2 type eggplant doing great.

What can I say green beans are growing like weeds. Taste great right off the bush.
2nd planting of kale is ready for harvest. Read yesterday that kale is the best vegetable you can eat. I strip a few leaves and chow down every time I go in the garden.

I decided to see if the kale will come back after the harvest
as you can see it will. Hope to keep harvesting form the same plants all year. Kale makes a great pesto.

2nd batch of lettuce is just now coming up, ready for harvest in 3 weeks.

Beans, lettuce, and Kale are doing great. The beans already have buds will be eating some beans next week. The lettuce is ready and the kale we have been eating for a few weeks. Found we like the Kale pesto better than the Basil. Maybe it was just something different. Those are white radishes coming up around the beans

Zucchini just getting started

Egg plants has a few blossoms. Hope to be eating egg plants in the coming weeks.First time growing them in the aquaponics system.

Cucumber and radishes doing very well.

Kale

Kale has been coming along great
now I just have to figure the best way to eat it. I have had kale chips and they are great but would like to try something new.
The fish had a tough time of it when the weather was very cold for 
a week straight, but came up with a great inexpensive way to heat the water and they survived just fine.
