Truck Farm

Not enough room in your backyard for a bigger garden?

no issues with cool weather germination there... just let her idle and the exhaust heat will warm that soil right up...

Nes,

I love the "Truck Farm" video. It really gives me some ideas. Do you think the following photo would qualify this pickup as a "Truck Farm"? Maybe it only is an applicable title if you are growing veggies. Trees may not qualify.

should be interesting, drive that thing to the farmer's market and have buyers pick the fruit they want. about as fresh as you can get without growing it yourself.

Good idea till it gets taller and wind from driving around destroys it all. They need a truck cap, then cut it down to just enough to hold together and replace it with clear plastic, turn truck farm into truck greenhouse and grow year round.
