Apartment Gardening Part 2

So it's been 2 months since my first update on my garden and I've been lazy with blogging (lazy in general).

Everything is growing well, one of my beetroots is nearly ready and I have about 30 little tomatoes growing.

Surprisingly it hasn't taken much effort. I pretty much just use super cheap potting mix in buckets or random recylable stuff and water whenever I feel like it.

I also got a worm farm a while back which is going along pretty slowly (more like a fruit fly farm).

Trying to grow some more herbs now as everything grows pretty slow and I'm trying to be healthier.

Looks like you're doing an ace job. When I was 12 I went on a nature bender and grew potatoes, radishes, cucumbers, watermelons, onions and tomatoes. It was pretty kickass...

It's funny the sense of satisfaction you can get from growing your own stuff.

Kickass! That's really cool, I think you've inspired me to plant some herbs when I get back from overseas. My history with pot plants is very sketchy so if it's as easy as you make it sound, surely I won't kill them, right? Riiiight?

Amy - I agree about the sense of satisfaction you get I think it's due to how long it takes to grow things.

Misha - just make sure you water often enough. If you are going to struggle with that then just get water crystals.
