    I have one.  This year we are upgrading it... our big project.  It is going to have a fence around it and the beds are going to be raised.  Exciting stuff.


    I also have a herb garden.

    You are very welcome chicklet...er I mean Fishlet!!!This is a great way to create raised beds and I use last years pots of soil for the top layer as it looks more appealing than some other materials!Happy gardening!

    I have a small Vegetable garden and grow all herbs in pots. I have done that for the last thirty years

    I thinks it time we all jump on the band wagon and do the same.

    Its work, but also fun and you know what you are eating.

    Me do

    every year

    I have a grape vine, a raspberry bush, a cherry tree, and my wife thinks we have a money tree (I keep telling her it is barren).

    Could you send me a few seedlings from your money tree.

    We have a vegie garden and about nine fruit trees. How about that? The tamarilas are ripening at the moment, mmmm, they taste nice.

    This year I may try herbs and other small veggies that do ok in pots.  I rent and gardens are only allowed on your balconies.  Someday!

    I dont get too much sun...but there is one are in the back that might work.

    Always made a garden grow veggie, last couple years I've gave it up only have a raspberry bush, which is enough work to look after.

    I had a large veggie garden but then we opted for dogs, oh well............

    I have an awesome veggie and berry garden that i've increased in size using a process called lasagna gardening and rather than go into detail here I'd like to share this site with you:http://ourgardengang.tripod.com/lasagna_gardening.htm     This is an excellent,instant results method and I've used old newspaper and cardboard for the bottom layer followed by 12 inch deep layers of seaweed,and leaves,grass clippings(chem-free), and last years' potting soils.Enjoy!Peace.

    Thanks lindilou. What a great site!

    I live in a sandy area and it is hard to grow things nice. I am a graveyard shift kind of guy so daytime is sleep time for me. I do grown some onions and tomatoes in pots because they have good soil and are easy to water.

    Hey!A perfect candidate for lasagna gardening if you can find the time,even a small area can give big yields!
