    Here is one of my latest projects. I'am going to take the tub, fill it full of dirt, plant some seeds and see how things go. Hopefully the seeds will sprout and this will be a 4 - 6 week project. I'll post an update on my blog and forum every week.

    With projects like this you can keep the attention of the audience, because they are going to want to know how things worked out.

    Part three of the series. The radishes and onions have come along nicely, but the spinach has not done too much of anything.

    Good to see another person who grows their own stuff once in a while. I had great luck with different basils, radishes, and tomatoes this past spring/summer. You can make a container out of anything, like those coffee creamer cup.

    And here is the finale of my little gardening project. This video is a little different from the others in the series. I wanted to sit down and let people see me eating the stuff that I grew on my patio.

    Well done Kev. These are really useful and they do what you have described. Makes it look and feel a little less laborious and more fulfilling.

    I don't know where you are, but that is a pretty good growing season. In CO....bah! Not a chance when you're doing it outside. Such a short growing season. Being back in CA.... *rubs hands together*
