Enough about Money! More about Gardening!

I talk a lot about money it seems... isn't it constantly on your mind too?


Well, the last few weeks I've been trying to spend a little less time putzing around on my computer and more time being productive. I've made lists of things that I need to do, and stuff that I'd like to start working on.

And this warm Southwest Kansas "Winter" is getting me thinking about gardening again!

Last year I wasted money on a gardening project I never followed through on. This year is going to be different. You can find out how to do just about ANYTHING on YouTube! Seriously.

This year I'm going to plant a small garden, maybe 4-5 different veggies. I will plant potatoes (if I get all the details worked out), tomatoes, maybe some bell peppers, not sure what else... maybe some kind of bean??? or a hot pepper???

Being a renter planting a garden would typically be out of the question. I've thought about asking the landlord if it would be ok to start a small garden. But nah, not gonna ask, because I'm going to try a different kind of garden!!

My potato garden will be completely contained in a stacking tire system or a different similar material if I can't get my hands on some old tires. Tomatoes and other veggies I'll grow in an upside down hanging method! Cheap and easy. And no need for digging up anything. :)

I'm excited and I will learn everything I need to know about these kinds of gardens by watching YouTube videos!! W00t!

I'll keep you updated... of course that might be a while from now... since it's still "winter" and all...

  1. Carissa, Sounds like a plan! Ithink if you go to any auto shop that sells tires, you might be able to get some discarded tires, free or real cheap. :) And if you ever have too many veggies...I would be glad to take a few off your hands. :)
    Best of luck!
