Tip 1 Grow some Fruits and Vegetables
If you have a small garden, growing some fruits and vegetables can be a rewarding and frugal experience. I’m sure doggy would enjoy some time in the fresh air and sunshine! Some easy veggies for the novice gardener include tomatoes, beans, celery, eggplant. If you are already an ace gardener then maybe you could leave us tips on other easy plants to grow. (squash? cucumber)
Tomatoes and beans will need some trellis to wind up on. A quick trip to the garden or hardware store will be in order.
Eggplants are fairly hardy plants that sprout up with little assistance here in Hawaii. There are several varieties of eggplant avaliable to grow. I really like the thai eggplant. It is long and slender and one eggplant would be the perfect size fruit for a doggy meal. Not to mention I could make a little Green Thai Chicken Curry for myself.
When I was a little girl, we once tried to grow potatoes. It worked and a tree grew in the pot we planted in but when we dug up the roots the potatoes were… small. I’m not sure if our failure was due to our climate, the pot, or that we were not patient enough but I am certain that it wasn’t so hard. Cut a potato in half and bury it preferably in a really big pot. A plant should soon sprout.
