The pots are planted, inside and outside, with parsley, cilantro, squash, tomatoes, and more. The plum and persimmon trees need to be pruned, but this is a rental. I do not know if we are permitted to take a clipper to permanent plantings. You can see the plum in the background; those are the only leaves that it has/ It needs to be pruned way. way back!
It is silly to call this 'homesteading.' It isn't. It is just trying to be a little bit more self-sufficient. If the plants are successful, we would like to take it to the next level and dabble in aquaponics.....
Can I recommend planting some basil as you live in the same Mediterranean climate that I do? :)
ReplyDeleteyes! it might just be easier to buy a basil plant from trader Joes and stick it in the ground...
DeleteHappy St. Patrick's day. How about planting some potatoes ?
