Growing Food

Last spring I decided it was time to expand my vegetable and fruit garden. The previous summer I had grown tomatos in a bath and I wanted to grow more vegetables in more baths. The trouble was moving the baths around the yard, so my Dad designed axles and wheels so that the baths can be moved like a wheelbarrow, he even made me handles. The photos below are of my dad attaching the axles to the baths I got from revolve (our recyling depot) and yes my wonderful dad drove four hours with a trailer to pick up the baths from revolve and bring them home.


I then made gardens in the baths using the no dig method, and planted them out with tomatoes, lettuce, asian veggies, peas, beans and spinach. Later on I added corn, beans, more lettuce and carrots. I also planted seed beet-root, but it didn't grow.
Then I brought from revolve, those clam shell kids pools, in those I planted potatoes, watermelon, zucchini and cucumber. In a dogs bed I planted golden nugget pumpkin. I also planted chillies and capsicum in pots.
Here is a photo of the garden I took around christmas
I love looking out on this from my kitchen window over the sink.
