If you have just a small place to grow your vegetables you might try a micro-garden.
They can be as small as a single pot-plant on a window sill.
Smallest gardens can be most productive
Small areas around flats can be some of the most productive food producing areas on the planet.
From this small garden, this season, Sister Mary Heremaia has harvested; Berry Berry vine 20 litres, Strawberries 20 litres, Rasberries 10 litres, Black Currant 5 litres, Gala Apples (this is the first year of fruit) 12 apples, Crab apples (First year also) 2 apples, Meyer lemon trees (2nd year) 12 fruit, mango tree (last year 12 fruit), Feijoa tree still to fruit.
With planning and care, this garden has out-produced much larger gardens.
Tending the microgarden, Sister Heremaia shows Rebekah how to look after her food-crop plants.
Her small garden is also very restful and beautiful.
Sister Mary Heremaia also has fun areas in her garden.
