Wash you berries. Found this little devil crawling from seed to seed. Wonder how may we unknowingly eat.

Ever grow tomatoes in your living room?
The famous "Trust" tomato cultivar at just 60 days. This is a single truss experiment whereby plants are stopped after just one truss of fruit and then subjected to high ppm nutrient regiment to produce sugars, acids, dry matter content and overall flavor. Each plants mission in it's short 90 day life is too mature and fatten 4-5 flavor laden fruit. This is the only known method of growing tomatoes at a high plant density and still producing high yields per growing area. The small yield per plant is made up by the ability to run 4 plantings a year!
Grown in coco coir and hydroton using the EuroGrower and General Hydroponics Flora series, Floralicious plus, CalMag and Diamond Nectar. Indoor lighting is 400 watt Hortilux blue Metal Halide lamp in agrotech reflector and core ballast. Light is on a lightrail 3.5 light mover that travels along the length of the garden.

Woah, woah, woah, hold up there... 
Chiller, I don't know what to say... you may have just killed my interest in this thread... how are we supposed to compete with that??
Ah, what the hell... Those pics are all amazing. The eye just leaves mine for dead... let alone all the others. Excellent work. I hope you manage to make some money out of your pics. If you don't... why the hell not, man? 
Now, your camera... nice. I've always been a bit of a Nikon slut... but on a Fuji budget. However, if a sudden windfall would come my way I know the first stop I'd make. My current lust is the D-90... but I'd have to have enough money to get ALL of the lenses that I could possibly want, plus a bloody big bag to carry it all in, plus all the geeky accessories to go with it, plus a bloody big 4WD to get me to all the places I'd want to go to try it all out. So, it'd have to be a somewhat large windfall...
How long have you been into photography? Have you had Nikons all the time? How long have you had the D-70? What do you think about it as a photographer? Is it easy to use? Does it have all the functions you wanted? Tell me more...

Ok then, I thought it might be time for a stink bug update. I couldn't remember how long they've been there, so I had to look it up. It's day 32 today. I started wondering if they're ever going to hatch. I can't find anything that tells me how long to expect, but similar bugs gestate for up to 45 days, so I'm not too worried just yet.
Here's the babies today.
And just because I'm a little over stink bug eggs... did you know that beetles have hair?
And a nice, big, juicy bud for us all to share...

Nikon was my choice simply because of the backward compatibility with the hundreds of vintage Nikon lenses available out there. The old lenses are larger diameter than the new digital camera lenses (the ccd sensor is small compared to 35mm film) therefore allowing you to use the higher quality center of the older lenses to render images.Woah, woah, woah, hold up there...

An update on the babies...
They're changing. Either they're dead or they're about to hatch soon.
I'm leaning towards hatching... although some of them don't look the same as the others. They're developing a kind of sac around them, and the tops of the eggs seem to be giving way... perhaps to make hatching easier???...
There are a few that don't seem to have developed the same though... what do you think?
