My Straw Bale Garden Experiment

More photos after nearly four weeks. 

June 14, 2007

                    

            Roma Tomato Plant with tomatoes                                Tiny Jalapeños


     

     Cucumbers (hilled) from seed     Eggplant (from seed) surrounded by Cilantro


    

Pumpkins and Squash in containers. This is easy on the back and knees and easier to tend.

    

Wheat in bales and Morning Glories.     Red Bell Peppers, already larger than a thumb.


I read that the Wheat can be left alone or pulled out. I've been pulling some of it, when it gets strong enough to pull the roots too. The Morning Glories will be transplanted to a fence line. 

I'll try to keep adding new photos, about every 3 or 4 weeks, to show the progress of my experiment.
