Beginner Gardening: How much time do you spend gardening?, 1 by Jaywhacker

When I open the door of what I call my "garden apartment", I see what is in the attached photo. Now that the platforms are built, the stackable containers stacked, and the automatic watering system installed, there is much less work to be done. My goal is to do all my gardening with very little stooping or bending and no heavy lifting. Even propagation is taking place on these grow poles. For instance, in one pole I have planted 5 seeds in each of the poles 16 plant sites. When those seeds germinate and get to transplant size, I will prick them out and use them to plant 4 more poles, all without bending over or doing any heavy lifting. It is not that I am lazy but this body is oler'n dirt, beat up, battered, often injured and ready for some easy gardening. Let the good times roll. :-) I still spend quite a bit of time out there sniffing the flowers and listening to them grow. I even carry on some interesting conversations with them now and then.......when ain't nobody looking or listening.
