Currently growing in coconut fibre in an autopot,, tomatoes, one pepper, basil and a chinese cabbage. The tall green object is the resevoir and holds hydroponic nutrient and the autopot tray has a valve that regulates the flow - just set and forget once you plant. Check out from time to time to make sure everything is going fine and nutrient is flowing to the plants and still plenty in the resevoir.

Organic Homegrown Butternuts - rich and full of flavor

These butternuts practically grew themselves - I just added some seeds to a pile of compost that was left in a small heap after moving it someplace and up they came - prolifically too, we have eaten quite a few of them before I remembered to photograph them. They were all very sweet and had a much richer flavor than shop bought ones and I didn't do much extra to them - no extra feeding, not extra watering and we had a long dry summer with hardly any rain.
Save the seeds of any pumpkins and butternuts or squash that that you have enjoyed eating for next season as they grow so easily if they are open pollinated or heirloom seeds.
