RE: Big House, Tiny Garden, March 2026

in HiveGarden2 days ago (edited)

I bought a book about year round salad gardening, but haven't purchased the necessary containers or figured out where I'd put them. I still like the concept, but no idea when I will ever get to it. Meanwhile, I rarely purchase "fresh" vegetables in the store, because they aren't fresh, and don't taste at all like what I grow in my garden. I can buy broccoli and cauliflower, because I don't have much success growing them myself. But cucumbers,tomatoes, carrots, lettuce, green beans, and squash taste so bad from the store, I can't bear to buy them.

Lettuce is very easy, if you start your own garden seedlings, you can grow lettuce. I can grow enough for myself with one level of grow lights. The only problem I've had is with gnats and aphids, which presented huge problems! I learned my lesson - never ever bring soil that has been outside into the house. And have a spray bottle of neem/detergent mix at the ready.
