Fern's Fern's Long Beach Patio garden

Garden Type: Patio | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Potting Mix I'm Organic!

This is the container garden next to my front door, my only outdoor gardening space! I am growing basil, sage, dill, thyme, parsley and oregano in the iron plant stand. In front of the herbs, I have a peach tree, million bells petunias, nasturtium, dahlias, cannas, a fuchsia, and a bunch of different succulents. I haven’t taken any photos yet, but I also have Ruby Chard, Radishes and a Cherry Rose Nasturtium growing in a window box.

Your container garden looks really great! I also just have a small space to grow things and it’s been really rewarding. :)

So much diversity in such a small space. A panoply of plantings on the patio. Is this devotion or what? Nice job Fern.
