Hi yeah so I’m not sure if this fits here but I’m posting it anyway. I live in a van so my garden has to be in pots so I can move it when I have to. Also there’s fuck all soil where I am right now. I’m mostly about flowers, I’m not growing any food this summer except that tomato plant in the blue crate, someone gave me that and I couldn’t not give it a chance. I think it’s a heritage beef tomato. There’s a couple of apples in the mix, one of em flowered in spring but they were only cuttings& grafts last year so doubt it’ll fruit. The rest is meant to be pretty stuff, sweet peas, calendulas (dead headed, hopefully back soon, those fuckers are bulletproof), marigolds (slug attack but couple survivors) gladioli, couple of roses, snap dragons, sunflowers be coming late due to sluggery, cornflowers, the orange crate is supposed to be meadow flowers, we’ll see what happens there. Anyway, if no-one tells me not to I’ll post another pic in a few weeks cos all being well it’ll only get prettier

Lol that is not a new joke. Part of my family comes from a travelling community, and I first started living in vehicles maybe thirty years ago. You can joke, but it’s more sustainable than bricks and mortar. My electric is solar, my heating reclaimed wood. No part of the land had to be concreted and built on so that I could have a home. It’s not right for everyone but I believe in sustainable community living and I put my money where my mouth is. You?
