You need a bit of room for them and plenty of water, but otherwise, they are really easy! I'm excited to see if my wintertime growing experiment will work. I think it will go well, but two winters ago we had -20 to -30 degree days. It hasn't been that cold in a long time, so I am really excited to try!!! I will try to keep tabs on it for the blog! Glad you dropped by and hopefully I can help out with info!!!

I'm new to the suburban homesteading thing but just put up a hoop greenhouse for the Grand kid's garden plot. Plan to continue growing vegetables all through winter if we can. Next year I will delve into aquaponics.<br />I'm a new follower of your blog and am looking forward to hearing more about the suburban homesteading lifestyle.True Life and Fictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194767305292360214noreply@blogger.com
