Rapid Growth - 8 Week Cycle
The First 5 weeks

8 Weeks Growth Cycle
A few years ago I wanted to document the growth development of my garden so I took amateur pictures each weekend for 8 weeks. I used a 3' by 11' Family Model AquaPonic Gravel Garden.

1st Week - After washing the gravel and mixing the nutrient solution, I planted it with mainly young seedlings and a few seeds.

3rd Week - To my amazement I had a garden already starting to produce fruit. Here is where pruning, thinning, inter-cropping and pollination become important. Also, tying up vines and letting plants grow over the side helps to increase production, as you shall see.

5th Week - It's unbelievable, but true, we're already harvesting in just 5 short weeks. Check out the zucchini as one example. Now the pruning, inter-cropping and thinning are starting to pay off. Cucumbers, tomatoes and pole beans are tied up with string in the back and melons are draped over the front on the left.
