Hello, Darlings
I have decided to try indoor vegetable gardening in mini half barrels as the vegetables I want to grow are of the small/mini varieties.
They are:
1. Korean Radishes – all year round
2. Scarlet Nantes carrots - all year round
3. Purple carrots – all year round
4. Purple Top White Globe Turnip Greens (for the root bulbs) – all year round
Since the Korean Radishes growing in one of the hydroponic towers have grown out stunted, I decided to add them as one of the vegetables for the mini half barrel garden.
To create my little soil based garden, I have set up three mini half barrels on the top of the white supply cabinet with two standing T8 grow light tubes, one placed on each end. These lights are supplements for the natural sunlight that comes in through the windows. I opened the curtains because it was about this time last year that I let the sunlight stream into the sunroom. Although, we are still suffering under the drought of the Indian Summer on the outside, maintaining the temperature in the sunroom has become easier.
My mini half barrels are cute and they were easy to set up. That is it for now, and I will keep you posted on the vegetables growth progress.
Until next time,
Keep Growing!!!
