I've now harvested the first zucchini, squash and tomatoes (Punta Banda and Texas Wild), along with continuing yields of kale, Swiss chard, collard greens, carrots and beets. From the hydroponic Dutch buckets, I've harvested several bell peppers, banana peppers and a tender squash. So far, the crops grown in soil yield more abundantly than the hydroponic crops. I will increase the nutrient concentration in the Dutch buckets to see if I can improve the yield of the soilless crops.
The purpose of my blog is to chronicle the weather, natural occurrences, planting dates, harvests and notes about the crops on my small farm south of Dallas.
