Gardener on the roof (Part 2)

Continuation from my original post at:

After regrouping from the floods of late April, it was time to start all over. I had hoped that it would turn out okay since things were doing well before I lost everything but I didn't want to expect too much as this was mostly an experiment to see if it was even possible to grow anything on a hot tin roof. Same up as before. Radishes in one shallow box, lettuce in the second shallow box and splitting the deeper box between cucumbers and tomatoes.

A few lettuce sprouts

Same with the radishes

The tomatoes and cucumbers were starting off well also.

As before the floods, the idea was to let them sprout and start and cull them down until only the strongest cucumber plant was left

Within a week I had a dozen cucumber sprouts and had to secure my tomato plant to a yard stick (the other tomato plants were given away since I didn't have room to grow those as well)

After the cull
I opted to keep 2 cucumber plants and added some rodent cage panels to give the vines something to climb on.

Radishes were still small but they were going. The lettuce box looked roughly the same

Everything is set. All that's can be done is to give them time and water

To be continued...
