The aquaponics setup is ready to fire up this coming weekend , all the clay balls have been washed and both grow beds are filled.....ran some more tests on the fill and empty cycles , some tuning to get the timing right , will turn the pump down and turn down the gate valve if needs be , adding the fish this coming Sunday then let it run for a week or two .....then get planting ! .

Removed the onions I planted last November ....stringing them up tomorrow then hanging them in the shed ....great crop and good size too . Going to plant more onion sets and fill more tubs with more veggies .

Wild child and I been weeding last two days ...........I said “ if he keeps looking at your arse I’m going to go up there and rip his f..king head off ! The dirty bastard ! “ .....she leaps upright .....who .....where ? .....him over there....I don’t see anyone ! She splutters looking all about ......are you bloody blind ! Him there ...he has not took his eyes off you for the past hour ......WHO ......I pointed to the scarecrow ......there is something really seriously wrong with you.....idiot .
