Mini Gardening in an RV Park

Some things in my little container garden are coming in pretty good. The Swiss Chard that I planted in the shoe bag is fantastic. I almost hate to pick it. It's just huge and beautiful. But I don't like to let food go to waste either.


The carrots are doing well too. I wish I had planted more but there is still the fall season.

I have some chard and carrots cooking in the crock pot as I write.

That's a hammer on the table for size.

 The tomatoes are not doing well - again. I'm trying a home made wilt spray that seems to be working. I'll take before an after pictures if it works. Onions are doing fine. I just replanted some mint. I've got some mango seeds sprouting and even some Jerusalem artichoke from the side of the road.

I've been given some houseplants too, not that I need them, but they're sort of like stray animals...I even adopted a Purple Fountain Grass from the dumpster...

My Mini Vertical Soda Bottle and Bucket Garden

I am most happy with my little garden. I am not allowed to dig in the ground here at our park, but I can grow things in containers. I decided to experiment with vertical soda bottle gardening.
So far, my lettuce, Swiss chard, strawberries and purple basil are doing great around the back of the camper. I have some carrots, potatoes and gourds around the side.
I wrote a more detailed piece on Wizzley on how I did this. Rather than repeat myself, you can take a look HERE.
