Our friend Dr. Compton was kind enough to record a short testimonial for us at the Downtown Phoenix Public Market last Saturday.  This was also a good test of our new video camera, which we will be using to document the installation of our new aquaponics system!  We will have those videos coming soon.

The good news is that with the shade screens on, our greenhouse is growing like a champ.  In addition to the greenhouse, we are doing some outside growing experiments with peppers, squash, tomatoes, green-beans, garbanzo, cucumber, watermelon and cantaloupe.  We built a couple of planter boxes out behind the greenhouse to grow these new crops.  Be sure to drop in on us at the Downtown Phoenix Public Market to see our new crops start showing up.
