Hi yeah so this is a follow-up post. I posted a pic of my garden maybe a month ago and said I’d post more pics over summer, so here is its current state. As you can see, the gladioli are coming and going, the calendulas are bullet proof (those fuckers will flower when temp drops to zero). There’s a couple of grafted apples in the mix, my marigolds got nailed by slugs (lotta slugs and snails this year). I’m not growing any food aside from the apples which are too small to fruit and the heritage beef tomato someone gave me. The sweet peas are almost over, gutted cos I love how tarty they smell! But I’ve been saving seed pods. There’s a bit more stuff in the mix.

Obviously growing in pots and crates is challenging but as you can see I live in a van and my plants have to be able to move when I have to go. Also there’s fuck all soil where I am right now. I’d love a proper garden but I’m doing my best. Anyhoo, the bees and butterflies love it, and so do I.

    Nothing wrong with it growmie, the main downside is having to water them more often in the pots instead of the ground, but if you’ve got enough rain that’s more or less moot though.

    Everything looks great! Keep it up!
