The Silent Vegetable Garden Video

I keep meaning to get around to adding some voice-over to this video ... but, honestly, I got a lot going on at the moment! ;)

The garden is an example of sustainable gardening - in a way that incorporates micro-climates into the mix. Plants are placed much closer together than a traditional garden and different vegetables are placed so that they compliment each other's needs. Sun loving plants shelter shade loving plants, for example. Carrots are placed throughout the garden (there are a lot of them!). The close proximity of all of the vegetable plants crowds out the undesired weeds (for the most part) - leaving more soil for the plants and less weeding for the people (uh, Johnny of course). The potential downside to this approach is access to the fruits ... it is hard to see in the video but it is very difficult to move between the tomato plants and the potato plants are growing any which way they can - rendering Johnny's pathways kinda useless. ;) 

So, here it is in its un-edited (a little long - sorry), un-voiced-over glory. Enjoy the view of what we now call "the jungle" ... organic veggies, no pesticides/no herbicides, hand-dug (by Johnny, of course), and oogled over every day.



There will be more video once we get some tomatoes ... should be sooooon!!
