Patio Gardening Project

A few weeks ago a little Patio Gardening Project was started. It was more like a test, but "project" might be a good name as well.

The plan was to take a couple of storage tubs, and figure out "what" they can be used for after the stuff was taken out of them. So why not fill them full of dirt, plant some onion, radishes and spinach in them and see how things go.




After the first week the radishes had sprouted first, and the spinach sprouted the next day. The onions came from some green onions my wife and I had in the kitchen.



By the second week the radishes were doing good, but seemed a little stunted. The spinach has not done hardly anything. Some more radishes were also planted.



1 week after planting the second set of radishes they are already up, about 1 inch tall and 3/4 inch wide across the leaves. The spinach still has not done anything. The green onions have grown 6 - 8 inches in 2 weeks.



Be sure to visit the Patio Garden thread of the forums for more updates.
