This year we experimented with a lettuce container for the deck. It has been a great success. We planted seed in it over a month ago and have been harvesting enough lettuce for the family for weeks. As you can see from the picture we have replanted an area to the right with more seeds. This one container could keep the family supplied with lettuce all summer. The secret to the container is that it is about 8 inch deep and has a water reservoir at the bottom. Therefore even on the driest days the plants were unaffected.
Tomato seeds sprouting - We are a little late this year but the garden isn't ready yet anyway so it will hopefully come together in the end. Ideally we would have planted these a month ago in a coldframe.
