Kitchen Gardening

Small space gardening is increasing in popularity.

Plants clean the air.

Nothing nicer than talking to your seedling and watching it grow.

These plants will have no toxins in them/ no pesticides or insecticides.

They will be grown and controlled by you and the results are quite fruitful.

It will give your system a break from store bought foods.



The most exciting idea is when you grow them upside down. J






















Let the rain water your plants




Nice house decor




These strawberries look delicious




This upside down garden has different vegetables, although I feel the pots are a bit too small for the roots.

But then what do I know lol

cucumbers

carrots

zucchini

lettuce

eggplant

long beans

pea pods

and strawberries.





Good Luck and have fun gardening J

Gardening .....



This interested me and so I thought I’d share. It has to do with Garden ph testing. How do you know the difference between a base and an acid?

You can test the ph level with:

Beets,which will change color from acid red to purple in a base solution



Blackberries,will change from red (in acidic soil) to blue in a base environment




Blueberries,are blue at a ph level of 2.8 – 3.2




Cherries,are red in acid and turn purple in a base solution




Yellow curry powder at a ph 7.4 changes to red at a ph of 8.6




Delphinium petals are bluish red in acid and violet blue in a base.




Geraniums are orange red in acid, change to blue in a base.




Grapes are red in acid, changes to violet blue in a base
