We started a small garden using some cinderblocks. As any gardener knows, there is never enough room so we expanded that a year later. With some changes to the layout in our backyard, we moved the garden to our "Farm", an area set aside with a fence for gardening, composting and some new family members.

One of our first YouTube videos.
If you want to try planting your own seeds to save money (Plants are expensive!), this is an overview of how we planted our first garden seeds indoors so that they are ready to plant into the ground when the warm weather arrives. We used recycled toilet paper rolls and dixie cups as an experiment. A photo of everything you need is shown at the end. (We usually plant the week of St. Patricks Day)
Please let us know if this works for you too.

An early video of our rain barrel build. I'd like to think our video became better from here, but i will leave that for you to decide.
This rain barrel was purchased locally for $35 and I made sure it was used for food or "food grade" prior to purchasing it.
We later added a drip system to water our garden when we are away on vacation. Well, really when we forget.
