WINTER STORMS

Lately we seem to have 4 days of stormy weather and 2 days of almost nice weather
and one day of a little of both.  Last week we had a 7  inch rain one day.
The lack of sun and the abundance of water has caused the aquaponic system to slow
down considerably. Even the weeds seem to be on vacation and the chickens haven't laid an egg for 5 weeks.

The one bright spot in our system  is  a line of bean vines with sweet pea like blossoms on
them. I had to go back and look at my records to remember what kind of bean I had planted.
Turns out  I have Wing Beans  blooming. They are an Asian version of the green bean. Look them  up
in Bakercreek Seed catalog and try them , you will enjoy them.
