Gardening Diary – April 16, 2019

 Noah and Elizabeth wanted us to grow strawberries in our garden. Since Sharon had plans for other vegetables in the straw bales, we decided to purchase a GreenStalk Vertical Planter. We had seen it on Facebook and we visited the factory/store on Middlebrook Pike. While this planter uses soil, we had seen similar hydroponic towers being used to grow strawberries commercially at King’s Farm in South Knox county.

Weed-eated the area on which we decided to place the planter.

We obtained a full tray of Ozark Beauty Strawberries from Knoxville Seed; we were only able to use 30 of the 35 strawberry plants in the tower.
