Just a few herb and vegetable seedlings in little pots, spinach/parsley/Paris Market carrots and such. The yields are barely going to be anything, it's just an enrichment activity.

I'd love to have a proper vegie patch but it's not likely I'd be able to maintain it.

I'd imagine a greenhouse would help avoid things drying out but it would get very hot and humid in there. Perhaps some people have tropical fruit in their future as the weather warms

Pots are great, easy to move and maintain and you can just keep adding them till you reach your limit.

A well maintained garden is nice, but a wild outta control one is more fun, however if your doing what you can with what you have then that's all.you can ask for really

Are you having trouble with stuff drying out?

I've probably got a few years before my fruit trees start producing but there in

I was letting stuff dry out a bit because the self watering pots with reservoirs got flooded during the rains and caused damping off
