We had been very expressive with vegetable gardening over the years, when space wasn't the issue. It's so tempting to push for exquisite garden concept. It's so satisfying to let out creative energy, when one has full control over space and content. If the lack of time to do watering and frequent outstation trips are the issue, the technology offers solution in form of fertigation method, and automatic watering system. Gardening is sweat and fun.... all the way 2009 - 2013 and now 2014.
Gardens are not made
by singing 'Oh, how beautiful,'
and sitting in the shade.
Rudyard Kipling

Now i remember my parents used to have a neighbour grow vege in the polybags, the daughter would come and ask whether we would want the vege, she told me it has to be in the bag otherwise te grass around it would take the nutrients for the vege, the father even do growing vege classes. It is interesting. Your photos explained better.

DeleteYou are a true 'green finger' Bangchik! I salute you! No matter where you are, you get 'green grass' around you :) Tapi sayangkan...da buat cantek2 garden kena pindah pulak. Well, that's life la kan...we just move with the flow. Container gardening is ok too Bangchik. Make the most of it like what I'm doing and you will do well insha Allah. Nothing can beat a wide field of land :)
ReplyDeleteASH.... container gardening is the way forward . And millions had done it all over the world... :)
DeleteNo, no gardens get done by sitting in the shade but so nice it can be to sit down for a while!
