In our current rental house we have only a tiny paved courtyard - not so useful for learning how to grow vegetables. So to solve this I found two pallets, drilled some holes in the back of an unused bookcase and then put that on the pallet.

It’s been working quite effectively actually - I grew a whole crop of radishes in there quite successfully and in the spring sunshine some lettuces and cabbages have been coming up. But the setup is far too heavy to move so I have started potting up all of my little plants.

I noticed that when I potted my lettuces one of them started turning a bit yellow on the outer leaves. Otherwise it looks quite springy and lively so I’m hoping it will return to the usual green shade. I sprayed some seaweed liquid on it yesterday so now I’ll just leave it alone. I might have to eat him soon anyway because this is the first time I’ve grown a vegetable and I accidentally planted two of them very close to each other.
