Growing Food inside
Posted: May 15, 2009 Filed under: Gardening Leave a commentMy backyard and inside of my house is producing food really well. I have not bought greens, basil or lettuce since November. I am eating cherry tomatoes and strawberries out of the living room. Baby lettuce sprouted 3 days ago. Today I planted beets, purple tomatoes, more Swiss chard. Here’s a pic from the living room, looking into the sunroom;
Clockwise from the left; cherry tomatoes-rescued from outside. I started them too early. On the top shelf is strawberries, tomato, purple bell pepper, strawberry Middle shelf has garlic, empty pot. Second self- chives, watermelon, purple basil, a potato that has started sprouting…it will go in a barrel outside. Bottom shelf; garlic, lettuce just planted, cucumbers. The Waterfarm has a nasturtium. It was a drip system, which I don’t like, I converted it into a bubbler that also sprays the roots every 30 minutes. All the artwork is in the windows because I have yet to get shades.
To the left of this is succulent, plus a Bonsai pony tail palm, about 30 years old. To the right is a orchid, and purple tomatoes waiting to sprout.
This is to the left of all that, a table my friend Bim Willow made.
