If you are not careful, you are going to have a oak tree growing up in there.

Urban Garden Solutions has some great patio & balcony gardening kits, self-watering and things like that. I've got 4 of the "Vegetable Factories" that come with the trace minerals.

Have you let any radishes go to seed for saving? If so, I would be interested in seeing a video on that.

By the way, I took your advice and saved some cantaloupe seeds from a store bought and will be trying my hand at cantaloupe this year.

Spinich: From seed, germinate them indoors. on a Napkin or cloth. Keep moist for around 7 days-ish. Then transplant them to container.

Those little 2" peat pots are ideal, to put the freshly germinated seeds into and keep indoors or in a greenhouse, where the temp is above 55 degrees...

Plant only about 1/2" deep.

Spinich is pretty hearty, but pre germinating them will give you a great edge and higher sucess rate.

This is true with a lot of veggies

Have Fun!

Those onions are planted too deeply. They will rot. You need to pull back all of the soil except for around the roots. The onion itself has to sit on top of the soil.

Did you put drain holes in that tub?

My spinach has stopped as well. I might just take the last leaflets and call it quits.
