Hello! We are preparing and preparing and preparing to find a sailboat and live aboard- should be 2017. However, one of my big questions is whether I could GROW anything aboard, and I see that you do! I’m wondering how exactly: pots, growing mixture, pot balance in a sailboat, etc. I did see the picture of your beautiful bonsai but haven’t found these details. Thank you! I’m a Missouri Master Gardener and your comment on an older Winterlude blog post made me jump for joy!
Hallo Jane!! Your timing is perfect, i am just starting to grow my micro greens, and would love to tell you about them. i will post photos on the blog also, to give you an idea what i use. How awesome you are going to liveaboard too, its a great life, you will love it, i promise!!! We have been living on board for 13 years now, and i have not regretted one day!!! My bonsai is a Japanese Hornbeam, and its 68 years old!! It is thriving on board, even though friends told me in 2003 that it would probably die. It loves the moist climate, i watch over it all the time, when we travel, i put it down below, in a safe spot, where it cannot fall. My micro greens are in the cockpit, which is canvas and strata glass covered, a perfect environment for the seeds to sprout and grow. Try and buy a boat with a canvas covered cockpit, it is wonderful in foul weather too. I admire you very much , being a Master gardener, nothing better then growing things, isnt it???
Thank you very much. And thank you for the encouragement and suggestion.I look forward to following you ,your husband, and Curtsy on your continuing adventures. BTW your photos are wonderful.
