Meet Don Wolverton, Master Gardener Extraordinaire. I watched his little garden grow last year and was able to speak to him about it last week. Last year he only spent $20 on start up and produced enough veggies to feed the deer, groundhogs, rabbits, peacocks, oh, and himself! This year he is hard at work again, but he said it only requires one hour a week for upkeep. The link below is a video made by KWTV for youtube on his preparation.
Some pictures for a more detailed view.
Those little rows contain sprouting carrots and lettuce and onions.
Peas are planted around the tomato cages. The pots are place holders for the tomatoes. When it is time to plant tomatoes, he will remove the pots and replace with plants without disturbing the roots for the peas. Of course this is in theory and is his first year attempting this feat. I cannot wait to see how it works.
Oh, and for all you Curious George's out there... those are bok choy and cabages under the milk jugs.
