At my home in Alabama, we have dedicated a section of the front yard to
the vegetable garden. This year, we have planted cucumbers, tomatoes,
pumpkins, onions, garlic, bell peppers, and sunflowers. Our plot is not huge, only 4-5 feet wide and 20-30 feet long, but by combining some containers and in-ground plants, we maximize the space and the yield.
I am working in South Carolina for several months and living in a flat, so I am not capable of planting and tending the garden space to which I am accustomed - but this will not stop me.
Two years ago when I was working a year and a half job in North Carolina, I transformed my balcony into a hanging garden thick enough to blot out the afternoon sun. I am doing it again at the new flat.
Even the smallest patio
or porch can boast a crop of vegetables or a garden of flowers
in containers. Planter boxes, wooden barrels, hanging baskets
and large flowerpots are just some of the containers that can
be used. The container gardener is limited only by his imagination.
Last week, I began this year's container garden with two tomato plants, five of cucumber, two bell pepper, and intermixed a few sweet basil plants.
The point is to not succumb to the thought that you don't have enough space to garden - if you have room for a pot, you have room for a garden.
