Growing a Gardener

​Interestingly I decided to grow plants in my unused fish tank indoors as an experiment. Starting from seeds I planted capsicums, carrots, beans, onions, potatoes and tomatoes. They all sprouted and slowly but surely grew out and over the top of the fish tank much to my children's amazement. After deciding to place another smaller old fish tank in the lounge room next to the window I planted lettuce and spinach and strawberries. To my delight my youngest son aged 12 exclaimed "How do they grow? Why am I so interested in gardening? I cannot get it out of my mind?" So now I have an extra gardener in the family! Just a few dollars here and there for packets of seeds and a grand saving on vegetables and hiring a gardener costs me Nil.  Also, both my children want to design the front and backyard - even better - home grown landscapers! Enjoy!
