Container Gardens....Anywhere..Any way!







An Herb Garden in old crates, on a bench, on a porch.  Read the entire article:

Salad Greens make a great pot.  They only grow to about 6 inches tall, they are full of color, and can be planted close to each other without being over crowded.  Just cut leaves for a salad 1 1/2 inches above the soil and the greens will continue to grow all spring, summer, and fall.  Place pot in full sun during spring and fall and find a more shaded area during the summer so that they don't burn.


Integrate your fruit and veggie garden with an area of your yard where you hang out. When the crops are close at hand, you're much more likely to pluck off an insect pest or give a thirsty plant a drink.
 
I have Kale growing in a pot on the patio wall and all my herbs lining the wall. I walk out the door and snip fresh herbs.  The only thing you can see in this photo is the large rosemary bush in the background.
