hows the pumpkin or watermelon or whatever it is i see doing?

[werdna]

In the bottom pic?
The middle one is moons & stars watermelon, the ones on either side are butternut pumpkin. They are going pretty good, I have a couple of butternuts growing on each, but they are getting hammered by wind atm, I need to put some mesh up for them to cling to.
The watermelon I had removed out of one of the pots you can see in the middle of the setup.
When I pulled it out I broke most of the roots in the process. I planted it in the bed just to see if it grew.
Obviously it has, and I have one watermelon on it already.
Seeing the difference in growth between AP and potted melons will be interesting

So in the last month I have been really busy, and havent had much time to take care of my tanks or AP setup.
Today I looked at my watercress rafts and thought... What the hell is going on here???!!!

So I had a closer look....
I call this photo "Once was watercress"
