On the homestead front. I received a garden for my birthday a couple months ago, and a free cycle table to hold it. As my disabled legs don't believe in me getting down on the ground, unless I want to continue life down there.
This picture is when all the plants were just planted. They have really taken off since then.
A tomato, cucumber, radishes, cilantro, and some basil plants added to my lettuce and strawberries.
And lemonade bottle for a self-waterer for the tomato plant, make sure it's buried completely upright or the air will leak in and it will drain too fast.
A chair so I can sit out and watch my plant's grow!
See! This is much nicer. The kale and lettuce varieties have given me the most reward for my time thus far. They grow fast and taste fantastic! I have harvested the kale and lettuce each once, and the lettuce are ready to go again.
The cucumbers died due to the solid month of May rain we had, I am going to get some more this week. The tomato hated me also, but didn't die. Thankfully! The strawberries are filled with tiny green berries, can't wait. And the radishes are up and looking good. The green onions are tiny thin slivers, but they are up. So far so good.
I sort of think everyone should grow at least lettuce at their homes it's the most forgiving and easy to grow, and everyone needs more greens in their life!
Ok well more later.
