I tried a garden on some Purdue plots last summer, but it was far away and I had no motivation to go there every day. Also, bunnies ate many of the plants before they even stood a chance. This I could put right out on my patio, and even when we move this summer it will travel decently well. I'm going to grow some of our more commonly-used herbs (mint, cilantro, parsley, chives...what else?) and some baby lettuce leaves so we can have salad more often. I can easily label what is in which pouches so I'll never get confused. I won't have to weed much at all! Really I'll just have to look out for a good water/sun ratio and keep an eye on bugs. I'm SOOOOOOOOO excited!
That seems like a really good idea! And very convenient for people who don't have a yard.
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty darn brilliant idea. We've got a little bit of yard to work with, but so much of it gets so much shade! I'd do basil too, but quite a bit of my summer menu uses basil. Ooh - and spinach! I may have to try this out myself. Good luck!
