This morning I took some photos of the tomato, Basil and onion garden I planted.
There are three rings in the back garden behind the chicken coop. Two I use for
different vegetables, herbs and flowers depending on the season. The third ring
has a Goji Berry bush and some dill that is giong to seed at the moment.

Last week I bought some tomato plants, I don't have good luck trying to grow them from
seed. Though, I do get volunteers once and a while. Anyhow, I bought some yellow pear,
and what I thought were cherry tomatos, but.. they are Orange "cherry" tomatoes.
I decided I needed some red ones! I bought a red pear and a six pack of patio tomatoes.

I planted the red pear in the center, and the patio tomatoes 2 plants to a cage.
Then put in basil and onions. On Monday I think I will add some tiny marigolds around
the edges or the ring.

The upturned bottles are my "drip system"

I probably should thin out the baby basils.

Looks pretty good!!!

I've been watching too many British cooking shows here lately... I just pronounced that baaa-zil.. :lol:
 
Love it!! It's so neat and tidy.

MY gardening is just messy bc I have 3 time consuming hobbies:
--Gardening
--Horse Training (just my own)
--Sewing

There is a LOT of "lick & polishing" going on at my place.

Thanks for sharing!
 
LOL I think it sounds more sophisticated when you say it that way too... of course... if I walked around saying Baaa-zil around here people would look at me like I'd grown a 3rd eye or something... :lol:

I love the idea of the rings and everything looks so healthy!
With the rings I can control the soil and water better. It is like raised bed or square foot gardening.
 
Pretty! What do you have on the bottles to make them drip?? A cap with a hole or something?? Interesting!
