Approaching the "Wet Dog" Days of August...

 The fruits are starting to form, and it's holding up well. It didn't take long for the roots to reach the top of the additional soil, I see them every other day when I water it (doesn't take as much water, stays cooler and still gets plenty of indirect sunlight). Next year may try strawberry plants, too.

 They're over the top, now! The tomato plants are above the cage, all have set fruit, too. No blossom end rot as experienced on one of the containered tomato plants, and they're alot bushier and - er... fruitier? Hmmm.

 Well, at least they're not infested. The bug mix I'd made last was from horseradish, vegetable oil, dish soap and water worked quite well. It did attract another pest, though - a bear thought it was pretty tasty and pulled a fence post down that was holding a gallon of the next mix (I let it "solarize" - at least I used to). They pawed through the potatoes too, but their making a comeback.

Not before and after pictures, the second generation hydoponics are still doing better ("soil-less" mix of peat pots in the translucent cups). Once I finally make my last sandwich with these, I'll try another batch with the same plants as on the left.
