Bachelor on the Cheap

By Mike Thayer

It's Day four on a small project I'm undertaking, creating an indoor edible garden. 

Day one was spent clearing some space for this 'garden', doing some cleaning and planning.

Day two was spent putting together a shelf unit and rigging it with some lighting.

Day three was spent on getting some planting trays and pots ready, to include some planting.

Day four has been spent getting ready to transfer some outdoor plants to the new indoor spot.

Starting from seed:

I got some green beans (bush variety), peas, carrots and radishes in the soil on day three.  This morning I got some lettuces, spinach, beets and tomatoes in the soil.    They shouldn't take long to germinate considering the controlled environment they're in.  I still have a lot on my list to plant:    Green onions, peppers and a variety of herbs. 

I'm having fun putting this project together and am looking forward to harvesting fresh veggies in mid-winter!
