Organic Barrel Garden

We have always planted a spring garden with the hopes of harvesting healthy robust produce all summer long. But alas, this was not to be.... we would plant in sites far away from the house and invariably neglect the garden. In the rush of our daily lives we'd forget to water and or fertilize the plants. And every year we'd say to ourselves, "What's wrong... Why can't we grow decent tomatoes?....Whaaaah!"

With a little guidance from Kathleen Hiraga at organicsrx.com we were newly inspired to try again. Kathleen gave us great instructions for sprouting seeds and fertilizing continuously from sprouts through adult plants with ORGANICSRX products. Plus her site has great gardening tips.

The Husband came up with a great container garden using recycled barrels.

This garden is located right by our kitchen. So easy to walk out the door and harvest for dinner.

Easy to water and easy on the back... no bending over.

I will post instructions on how to assemble a barrel garden in an upcoming Post.
