The veggie pics were taken on the 29th of November and the fish pic on the 7th of December. (The fish look pretty tiny - they're actually between 10 and 20 cm.) There's another fish tank, with about the same amount of fish - about 45 in all.

We haven't had much rain at all since July and it's a real pleasure to visit the aquaponics garden. This project really shows how water efficient these systems are, compared to the dirt garden, which has just about given up! Veggies include: tomatoes, strawberries, Lebanese cucumbers, climbing beans, basil, chives, lettuce, silverbeet, beetroot, and an experimental rock melon.
