I've been trying to grow some fruit and vegetables in our garden without having to ugly up the yard with lots of wire and mesh. We have a very high bush turkey population and they are hell on the garden. They are a protected animal in the area, but geez sometimes I think they deserve a bath in a great big saucepan on my stove! Clearly, it's only a fantasy of mine whenever I have a damaged garden...
So, recently I have been growing the odd veg and fruit out of hanging baskets and they are growing great guns! I haven't had any problems so far and will keep you posted. I found some fantastic tomatoes at
Bunnings (yellow!) specifically designed for hanging baskets, I also have strawberries, herbs and lettuce.
The lettuce is lovely now and you can see from my pic that it's been raided recently for our lunch.
I grow these just outside Master One's door and he is helping me water them and watches them growing.
Can't wait to munch!!!!
