It's been just over 3 weeks since I set up my Maygrove! I separated and moved some seedlings to another system, but I still need to move some more. All plants are looking pretty good... except one tomato that I moved in from elsewhere (it was already unhappy).

I didn't separate the radishes, so this will be interesting. 🀣 However, I did nudge the sponges up out of the cups a bit so they won't get stuck.

The plan for this upcoming Friday is to drain the system and do a bit of cleaning.

I finally got out in the garden and did some much-needed harvesting and cleaning up. I harvested a lot of peppers. But I'm still not done.

As mentioned before the tomatoes have slowed way down, so we will see if I get another good wave of those. I think I will since the weather is starting to stabilize. We have about 6 weeks left in the growing season, maybe longer.

My escalator zucchini made a comeback so I have several zucchini here, and a lot of eggplant.

I'm determined to clean up the mess so I like my garden again for the rest of the season. πŸ˜‚
