This year, we removed our deck and pool, so I suddenly have space for a proper in-ground garden. However, I still have hundreds of containers left, and a large strip of concrete that runs the length of the backyard. So, I filled the sidewalk with planters of all sizes and shapes. It’s really got everything from clay pots to hanging baskets to re-purposed things like trash cans and storage bins and olive oil cans.
So, I filled them with herbs, flowers and even fruits and veggies!
The sidewalk area is kind of ideal, because it’s along the east side of a tall cedar fence. This means that from mid-afternoon on, the plants are in the shade. They do get full sun the rest of the day, but having a break from the hottest sun in summertime Texas is invaluable to plants!
An outdoor organic garden located in Houston, TX 77036, United States, heathermione's Container garden currently contains 105 plants.
This is a Container garden that is known to be in USDA Hardiness Zone 8b. It has mainly Potting Mix soil and receives Full Sun light.Photos
