****** The aquaponic tomatoes, I have bought, have no flavor, they taste just like all of the other market tomatoes. That is the only aquaponic produce I have ever purchased.

****** I have visualized your family incorrectly, I guess. I think of a fenced in cattle pasture as being open, cleared, land, rather than 'woods'. You probably have better privacy than I imagine, and probably are more rural; I keep thinking you are more like on the edge of a small town, rather than in the rural woods.
