RE: Creative Foraging and Gardening in the Winter Season
Excellent job on the grocery store foraging :)
I desperately miss my garden (due to moving into a temporary POS) but one day I will be able to grow my food again. I also put scallions and celery stalks in water. I haven't quite experimented with red potatoes yet. But if you've got some 5 gallon buckets you can make an indoor garden fairly easily and what's nice is you can bring them back outside once the weather warms up.
Thanks for comment @merej99!
That's a great idea about the 5 gallon buckets for in door growing!
My husband just complained that he keeps tripping over my planters...
We don't have window sill space, so my plants are currently on the floor in front of windows and our patio door. What can I say, I'm having a hard time adjusting to winter confinement...lol
My husband and I moved to Florida nearly 2 years ago due to his job transfer. Prior to that we were in the Adirondacks for about a year in one of the coldest winters I have ever experienced with -20 degree F weather for weeks. Hubby and I got cold-soaked. I don't think my bones could take it if I tried! Being stuck indoors and cold definitely made me a little batty. LOL
But the bucket garden is amazing and deep enough for a small amount of carrots or small potatoes. :)
It is a goal of mine to re-store the small house we bought 18 months ago into a more sustainable home where we can grow some of our own food and go off-grid if and when we want to. We are in 850 sq/ft. That's not exactly considered tiny living but it's close and having 1 winter under our belts already we know how small it can become in the dead of winter. We try to be nice to one another... but sometimes it's tough when it's too cold to go outside :D
