With the future banning of irrigation in most river systems, I figured that the price of fruit and vegies are going to go up huge soon, so I thought thats it i'm going to make me a vegie patch. But because we are renting I didn't want to put them in the ground. So my mum and I were talking yesterday and she gave me a great idea, a vegie patch in pots. So I went and got some old pots off people as well as some buckets and drilled holes in the bottom of the buckets. And tomorrow I'm going opshopping looking for a baby bath to grow potatoes and strawberries in.
So far I've planted two tomato plants, cos lettuce, beetroot and a chilli plant. Tomorrow I'm going to go and get some herbs, onions, spring onions, leek, brocoli and cauliflower. It's a shame that fruit trees don't grow well in pots too, because I would love apple trees, lemon trees and orange trees. But that will have to wait till I get my farm. |
