Now that is one awfully big list to plant *but* as I said, a lot of my seeds went out of date due to us knowing we were moving and being unable to plant. I doubt many are going to germinate but there is no harm in trying! If they do... well we will eat well! hehe.
To expand our growing space I am hoping to get Aquaponics with NFT going along the whole of the back fence. That should give us another 200 cup holes (4 levels of about 10 meters.) Fish in an IBC clad with either wood and painted or colour bond like the fences. The Lettuces, Silverbeets, Basil (in summer), Pak choy, tatsoi, mizuna and other greens will grow brilliantly here, freeing up garden beds for other edibles. I would say we would be just about self sufficient for greens down there with staggered plantings. The IBC would still need some media beds on top of it (prettied up of course) to help filter out solids... this will be great for tomatoes!
Looking at how far we have come in a year I am pretty proud of everything our family has done! I hope that we can continue to expand our edible garden and sculpt it into something that is aesthetically pleasing for the neighbours too!
*hugs* Thanks for visiting,
Sarah
