That's a great idea! What kind of gardening do you do?
Mostly vegetables, herbs, and berries, but I've been starting to branch out into flowers and other non-edibles more. Been covering the sides of the yard in rhododendrons and azaleas for more color with little need for upkeep most recently. Well, most recently was planting the spring veggies, but before that, I was working on getting the rhodies in.
I'd recommend it! It can be as much or as little work as you want it to be depending on what you plant.
I also used to have a hydroponic garden inside, which I've been meaning to get set back up. That's great for having leafy greens available year-round. That is a bit of work to maintain, of course. Need to pay attention to nutrients and pH more.
That sounds great! It's a nice mix. Have you had any luck with the vegetables?
Oh yeah, the only problem I ever really get is that powdery mildew is super common here and extremely hard to fight. I've given up on pumpkins (and any other squash) as a result, which is a real shame because I love pumpkins. But what can you do?
But I grow a bunch of peas, spinach, a huge variety of brassicas, carrots, green beans, onions, garlic.... That's what I've got going for the moment, anyway. I've grown eggplants and peppers in the past, but they do better indoors or in a greenhouse here and right now I've just got a few raised beds.
Nice work I'm impressed!
