Check this out – I’m growing a cabbage in a stump:

I shot that picture the day before Rachel made coleslaw from this lovely head of cabbage. It was growing in a few handfuls of dirt stuffed into the middle of a rotten chunk of oak trunk I picked up by the side of the road. I barely had to water it – and the cabbage (which is a small variety) clocked in at a respectable 3lbs.

It’s like a tiny hugelkultur pot, eh?
