For the 2nd year in a row, we have opted to plant our vegetables in earthboxes rather than in a traditional vegetable garden. Earthboxes are SO much easier to maintain than a traditional garden, and the plants grow so fast. We have grape tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes,yellow squash, bell pepper, cucumbers, and basil. Other than a little end rot on the tomatoes, the plants and vegetables are doing great. O is always excited when it's time to pick!
thank you for sharing. i have been looking for an alternative type of garden. this may work.

ReplyDeletehi,
ReplyDeletei never heard of earth boxes before. can you tell a little more about the process or maybe direct me to a website about it. tried finding some info on the web unsuccessfully.
I'd also like to know what an earth box is! Those veggies look so good!!
ReplyDeleteWow-thats awesome.I would like to know more about earthboxes too.I clicked on the link.So is the earth box the container garden?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing by earthbox you mean "raised bed?" We planted a raised bed this year. Our grape tomatoes also have end rot -- wonder why? Didn't happen last year.
ReplyDeleteAlso -- how do you pick basil so as to encourage more budding/leafing? I am never sure where to pull leaves from -- or should I grab entire stem bunches?
Blossom end rot is usually a sign of calcium deficiency, as I understand it.
