The Earthboxes are back. This year I have planted even more vegetables than last year --- and have great plans to enjoy lots of fresh lettuce and spinach soon. The tomatoes will take a bit longer, but they did SO well last year that I am willing to wait. Planted everything on two recent weekends and (alas) did so in very cold and rainy conditions. The little plants all looked a bit forlorn after the transplant process, so I am hoping for some warmer/sunnier weather soon to help them perk back up. Stay tuned for updates.
Here is what I planted:
- Spinach
- Romaine lettuce
- Head lettuce
- Boston lettuce
- Arugula
- Basil --- two varieties
- Tomatoes --- four varieties
- Kentucky Mint
- Rosemary
- Thyme
- Sage
- Chives
- Italian oregano
Earthboxes are nifty containers that allow the plants to use just as much water as they need. I love them and had GREAT success using them last year. They are available from amazon.com and elsewhere --- but you can check the www.earthbox.com web site for more information.
