Kiddie pool wicking bed..
All set up and ready to go with the straw for the 'taters. That black cloth will be going up as I fill it throughout the season. For now, I need to transplant those carrots.
South facing garden beds..
I still haven't decided if I want to make these traditional, or go through the effort to make them self watering..

Wicking bed..
Made from those bright orange plastic buckets.. With a vertical gardening twist. Not entirely certain it will actually work, but wrapping the outside of the buckets with burlap or something sounds like it will work.

Strawberry pot 2
Both of these I consider good practice. I think the same skills will be needed for a grow tower, should I actually get off my duff and make myself one.
Front pond update..
Yeah. I cheated. These transplants are doing well though. And the other flowers in the beds are recovering from my water mismanagement. In short, some areas in the bed were not getting sufficient amounts of water.
Biggish pond..
Up here, the transplants look dismal to me. I think I may have planted them too high in the container, or maybe the birds happen to like to sit here.
