Gillbert super attacked one piece of food tonight and then went straight to the bottom of his tank and proceeded to chill out. I've never seen him do this before, once he gets one piece of food he usually

Tomato time! I'm thinking a few of these are ready to harvest. I will require a guinea pig. I need to come up with a plan to trick my wife into eating them now.... My second bunch is starting to do decent

My peas actually have some decent size to them. They can't support themselves but they do have a decent size. I really didn't expect them to be as floppy as they are. Going to be hard to grow them if they

The winter garden in all it's glory! I do have a decent amount of plant life going on right now. I like to keep everything nice and messy as I'm sure you can tell by my picture. In my opinion you can never

Definitely time for some maintenance this weekend. Might not get anything done until Sunday though as I will be busy Friday and Saturday. Might be able to sneak in some work tomorrow afternoon but not

I think the time has come for the first tomato to be harvested. I want my wife to do the honors so I'm going to see if she would like to try a fresh, straight off the vine tomato tomorrow. That's quite

Poor mystery plant just never grew. I thought this plant was going to be great but it's been a real let down. I think it's time to give up on this experiment unfortunately. My first real failure in the

Who's the cutest little basil plant of them all? It's mini-plant! Oh my poor little mini-plant. I want it to grow so badly but it just refuses. I really need to get something setup to start moving a few

My overwhelming abundance of flowers is just spilling out of the planter. The plants are almost becoming an invasive weed at this point and we've still not seen any actual flowers yet. This was not what

The flower invasion continues as the flower vine has wrapped all the way to the top of my basil. Who needs a trellis when you can just grow up a nice tall basil plant? When I planted the flowers I did

Gillbert just zooming around his tank. He wouldn't hold still for me to take his picture but I kind of like this one that I got. After a few days of Gillbert not being very active, today was a very welcomed

A sneaky little flower has appeared on one of my basil plants. Normally I trim these off well before they bloom but I must have missed this one. It was quite deep inside of the plant so I can see how I

My peas are falling off the side! This floppy plant just sort of lays wherever. I'm trying to keep it away from my flowers since they just seem to want to wrap around everything within their reach. It

My tomato plant is really straining under the weight of the tomatoes. That thing is on a serious angle now. The leaning tomato of the winter garden. Not really sure what I can do to reduce the strain of

My pump seems to be running a bit better today, I still want to take it out and clean it just to see if that helps to improve things. Gillbert was pretty quiet today, just minding his own business in his

Now that winter is over I'm feeling a bit weird about still calling my garden the winter garden. But I'm committed to this name until the garden withers away! Lots of color happening now! That one tomato

Pump issues! My pump is barely moving any water and before I played around with it, it wasn't even getting any water into my planters. It's a bit late and I want to go to bed so I will have to wait until

Mini-plant is just struggling down at the bottom of the garden. I think I've given up hope of mini-plant ever flourishing. My pepper plant isn't much better but it does look much healthier than mini-plant.

my third planter is looking a bit messy. I had to unravel my long pea plant out from the flowers and tried to put it back into its planter. unfortunately the plant just isn't very sturdy and is now flopped

A little hard to tell here but a few of my other tomatoes are finally starting to change color. I'm going to be harvesting in no time! Here is my other bunch of tomatoes. They are a bit behind the first
