This has developed because there is not enough room to take all the vegetables I want to plant in the Smallholding.
It is to be a container garden, for vegetables on the paved area where the garden shed used to be.
This has also absorbed the Mobile Strawberry Garden and Worm City
I had not grown strawberries for a while as the slugs seem to eat more than I do. I had this idea for a ‘mobile strawberry garden’ that could be relocated to fend off the slugs and chickens and make the most of the sun when it arrives in the spring. Grace was very interested in the strawberries and helped me with the planting into window box containers that we will start off on the empty small holding.
I suspect that because the plants are in a window box they may not yields as much fruit as if they were planted directly in the ground but this will have to be balanced against the amount gained but out foxing the slugs and chickens
02.03.10 Moved the mobile garden to the south side of the house and placed them on the window ledge, hopefully out of the way of the Chucks. All the plants look good with new leaves forming in the crown.
17.03.10 Strawberries back on the kitchen windowsill, it was blowing a gale around the front of the house.
01.04.10 The mobile strawberry garden is now in the Extra terrestrial Smallholding. Straberries look good they all have thick leaft crowns with plenty of growth starting
I’m including the Cold frame and the Mini Greenhouse in the ‘Extra terrestiral’ as plants seem to be hopping from one place to the other!
Containing 28 plants, Motherhen's Extra Terrestrial garden is an outdoor garden located in Benenden, Kent, United Kingdom.
This Container garden is located in USDA Zone 8b and has Potting Mix soil with a Full Sun outlook.Photos
