I am now officially growing things! Outside! And not on an aerogarden (no disrespect, aerogarden — you are awesome).
On Saturday, I hauled myself over to Ginkgo Gardens (hat tip to Amanda for the recommendation!) and actually forgot my list of all the things I needed for my $50 garden. I figured I’d just wing it and probably end up okay. And I did. The ever so helpful Peter and Ginko Gardens hooked me up.
I got 3 basil plants, a tomato plant, pots for both plants, soil and a little fence for about $60. Not bad — and I didn’t have to actually build anything. When I laid out everything, it looked like this:
I got to work filling my pots with the super awesome, organic soil I purchased and once that was done, this was what everything looked like:
Finally, I added the plants, watered the seeds and then added the fence. Ta-da! I now have a very tiny garden. I’m so excited to eat fresh basil and tomatoes — and so happy to have another thing crossed off THE List!
Ohh! AWesome, loving the outdoor gardening idea! And thanks for the recommendation of where to go!
thanks liza! i’m so excited to actually grow things 🙂
I know the feeling! 🙂
Do you think they would have suggestions for indoor gardening?
Yes, absolutely. They have a variety of pots and containers!
Oh awesome! I was actually thinking of using recycling containers, like milk jugs, etc. That way it cuts down on the budget and it’s environmentally friendly!
oh yeah– that makes tons of sense!
🙂 There’s some new ideas for you if you plan to expand the garden!
