Vegis

Hands up all you motorhomes/caravans/ tenters [is that a word?] That grow their own vegies. Being that most of us still have a home.
We do and have done so since the first home we bought in 1970. I was just thinking about this as I just raided the 'patch' not a lot in at the moment we are in drought here,
but I can still afford some water for our vegies.
I'm not a normal grower (Carol cant see this suppin about being normal) I don't sow in rows just a hand full of different seeds all chucked in as I go, and it works for me.
I have tomatoes, chillies, radish, apple cucumbers, spinach,silverbeet,chives,pastly basil and a few more that at this time haven't poked their heads up. All together no rows, the tomatoes don't even have sticks to attaché them to I don't care if they lay over [I don't think their care neither].
When we were still on the farm most of the food on the table we grew, and on a cuppla occasions everything on the table was from the farm including the roast beef/chook/lamb even the butter that Carol used to make. And wait for it....I made the beer.
So what are you lot out doing ? and I'm not excluding the on road permanents' I have seen a few with vegie patch's in those styrene box's. We had some visitors here a while back and they had tomatoes growing in box's
Over to you.
