Keeping It Simple: Planting Kitchen Garden Boxes

There's nothing like having a kitchen garden box, right outside the door, full with fresh lettuce, greens, herbs and more!
Join me and my husband as we show you how we keep it simple when planting ours.

[@HeartandHomesteadwithDawn]

Thank you! Yes!! One seed at a time in the garden and in our lives, goes a very long way!

With God's help i plan tp grow microgreens & sprouts this year plus try growing herbs like fennel, dill, basil & chives etc. I am in NE Texas & last year it was so hot for so long that it was really hard gardening. I am also planning to grow sunflowers, nastursiums, mint & borage for eating in salads.

[@HeartandHomesteadwithDawn]

That sounds like a fabulous plan! Do you plant in garden boxes or in the ground? Have you tried using drip tape? We have the garden boxes right outside the kitchen door on a deck but we also have a garden in the back yard as well and we are planting borage too!

Some things i plant in the ground. i have 3 separate garden areas. One on the north side of the house. One on the south side of the house. And also a shade garden. I haven't done drip tape yet. I think about it but i haven't gotten it done. I guess i have enjoyed 'playing' in the hose water in the hot seasons where i live. lol My north garden is in ground. My south garden is big tubs from protein licks for livestock. My shade garden is smaller planters & totes. Living in the country surrounded by hay fields & my property surrounded by trees I get lots of moles, voles, squirrels, opposums, raccoons, rats & mice who try to visit my garden areas & escape the scheduled haying activities. So i have had to learn how to 'defend' my food lol.

@@Kat-Knows ah! Fun times! It sounds quite dreamy♥️ it’s such a good wholesome lifestyle. Learning how to co-habitat with critters is a dance for sure. I’m not sure if there’s ever a winner 😂

Loved this, and I too love a fresh salad. Do you make your own salad dressing? And what is the little black tubing I see in the box.? Is that for watering the lettuce straight into the dirt, instead of watering from above?

[@HeartandHomesteadwithDawn]

Thank you for watching and commenting. Yes! The black tubing is a mini drip tape system we set up for watering. So easy! It has small holes that “drip” water around the plants. You just attach it to a hose, turn the water in and walk away. A win-win!
