I'm not very good in the garden but I try.

I noticed things would grow in my hay bales so I used it as a raised bed planter.

That is so cool. You placed lettuce plants (or seeds) into the hay bales? Any dirt/compost/peat in the pocket for the plants/seeds? And what else do you have growing out of hay? I love it!

Yeah, riiiiiight. You can go tell that story to somebody that doesn't recognize big and gorgeous vegetables! Love the cabbage. Looks like you are a fairly talented gardener. Hay bales are a wonderful medium. I have so much ground that I've never done those, but just for looks alone I might try.

Great job!

What variety of carrots are those? They look like Chantenay.
