Winter Harvest

Meager I know.

Turns out potatoes don't really grow well if you forget to water them in the middle of August and they turn into brown sagebrush. Actually it wasn't that bad, but almost. Realize now that the future garden needs to have a built-in watering system to keep things going - and my lack of sunlight doesn't help matters much.

On the carrot front, I also learned that those little root crops don't like containers. Even though this variety is a nice baby carrot variety - I need to have nice sunny loamy soil - which just doesn't cut it on the bedroom balcony.
