A new direction for my gardening
I have been a lifelong gardener. Each year I can hardly wait until spring arrives and it is time to set out my new plants. I have always loved fresh veggies, something that I miss greatly during the long winter months.
I have a great garden right now. It is small but robust. Plenty of cucumbers, tomatos, bell peppers and soon beans. I have had to battle the deer for the past several years and was about to give up. Then one day I remembered that I had an old 10x10 kennel that I could put up and keep the deer at bay. Well, it has worked to perfection. These intial photos were shot on July 3. I have not only kept the deer out, but also provided a place to train up my cucumbers, tomatos and beans.
But, one thing I have not accomplished, is how to provide those wonderful plants and fruits during the winter months. Well folks, that will soon change as I am about to jump headlong into a journey called hydroponic gardening. I have already ordered material and will be giving your regular updates as time goes by. Stay tuned.
