The box I cobbled together from old pallets, dirt is a mix of potting soil and local dirt spiced with chicken poo.

For the more observant viewers, you may notice that the closest ‘V’ is slimmer than the upper square – the pallets were a little short. I plan to plant smaller vegetables in those areas.

    This is so cool! What do you plan to plant? You should add some mint and green onions.

      My first batch will be some spring onions, radishes, and leaf lettuce.

      Mint, on the other hand, I have in a pot in the house and will likely stay in that pot for the season (unless I get a bigger pot for it), it likes to wander here and would likely take over my garden.

        No likely about it, mint is a weed. Great for fresh mint, not so great if you want to contain or get rid of it.

        That sounds great! Radishes with a little salt are great.

        But that’s the fun!

          Agent of chaos, eh? Or are you sentient mint building your terrestrial army?

            I’m just someone who likes seeing my plants thrive :)

            and kill all the others and continue on to take over other living bodies
