Welcome to my weblog! I plan for it to be a record of how I built up a fully self-sufficient garden from scratch. Hopefully my readers can learn from my many inevitable mistakes but also see what things worked. I have no practical experience of gardening, so what I do should work for anyone - with the proviso that my climatic conditions may not match yours.
At the moment my garden space is limited to the balcony of my apartment - about 2 square metres (20 square feet). So, no fruit trees for me at the moment. However, I plan to buy a house in the next year, so my gardening can take off then!
So, what have I started off with? My first plants had to be:
- Expensive enough in the shops to make growing worth my while
- Easy to grow
- Cheap to buy
After a little consideration, I came up with chillies. I've always loved these plants, and they look good to boot! I went up the road to Bunnings and came back with 5L of potting mix, two pots, a jalapeno plant and an orange habanero plant. Jalapenos and habaneros are two of the more popular chillies, so if I run into trouble I should be able to search the internet for plenty of answers!
