mini farm box

had my mini farm box installed this weekend

my friend connor's brilliant idea for the lazy, clueless - or busy, such as myself who want a nice veggie garden 

should pay for itself in a couple of months

made from rot resistant sustainably farmed redwood

and filled with organic soil

and it's beautiful - right under my window

so i won't forget to water it

veggies planted

melon

two types of tomatoes

basil

cilantro

eggplant

i will be feasting like a king
