Aquariangt-Love the idea of hydroponics, but I know the dogs would be a pain in the butt if I tried that in this house : ) We grow tomatoes, squash, zucchini, and beans in the first garden, and the second houses our pumpkin patch(all sizes from gourd to giant).
I also love summer time as I can plant more landscaping plants. Last year we put in 50 pines, 100 arbs(and I am pretty sure the deer mowed those down over the winter) The year before I put in 50 lilac shrubs/trees, a flowering crabapple and several smaller ones. My goal is to have the property in bloom from early spring right through fall, but darn it takes time!
We used to have aquariums(10gal, 20,30 and 55 gallons) but since we moved here, the water is hard water from the well, and after 10 yrs of fighting to keep the tanks at proper ph, we threw in the towel. Maybe later down the road we will set them back up as we kept everything. Sigh.
