Traveling in an RV offers a unique blend of adventure and comfort, but it also comes with its own set of challenges and lifestyle choices. One interesting topic we recently explored in our newsletter was whether our readers grow herbs or small plants in their RVs.

This poll question aimed to uncover how many RV enthusiasts are also green thumbs, managing to cultivate a bit of nature on the go.

If you missed the opportunity to vote in this poll, make sure to participate in our future surveys to have your voice heard and be part of our community’s findings.

Now, let’s dive into the results and see just how many of you are balancing the RV life with a touch of gardening.

Poll Results: To Herb or Not to Herb?

Drumroll, please! The results are in, and it turns out that:

  • 94% of our readers voted “No” to growing herbs or small plants in their RVs.
  • While a modest 6% said “Yes.”

It seems that the vast majority of you prefer to leave the gardening gloves at home and focus on the open road. But for the brave 6% who do cultivate their little green companions, kudos to you for bringing a slice of nature into your mobile abode!

The Great RV Gardening Debate

So why aren’t more RVers growing herbs or small plants? Is it the lack of space, the fear of turning a sharp corner and having soil spill everywhere, or perhaps the challenge of keeping plants alive while constantly on the move?

Let’s be honest, keeping a plant alive in a stationary home is hard enough for some of us. Imagine trying to keep a basil plant happy while driving through a bumpy mountain pass! It’s a bit like trying to keep your coffee from spilling – nearly impossible and often messy.

The 6%: RV Horticulture Heroes

To the 6% of you who do manage to grow plants in your RVs, we salute you. You are the true multitaskers, the green-thumbed road warriors who have somehow mastered the art of mobile gardening.

Perhaps you’ve figured out the perfect spots to secure your pots, or maybe you’ve developed a sixth sense for knowing when your leafy friends need a little extra TLC. Either way, your dedication is nothing short of impressive.

Conclusion: Why the Results Make Sense

The overwhelming preference for not growing plants in RVs likely stems from the practical challenges involved. Space is a premium in an RV, and every inch counts.

Additionally, the constant movement and varying climates can make it difficult to maintain a stable environment for plants. Lastly, many RVers prioritize convenience and simplicity, and adding a mini garden might complicate their travel experience.

While the idea of having fresh herbs on hand is appealing, the reality of RV life often dictates a more minimalist approach. So, while we may not all be growing our own oregano on the go, we can still appreciate the effort and ingenuity of those who do!
