kate_has_roots's Container Garden '09 garden

Garden Type: Backyard | Sun: Partial Sun | Soil: Potting Mix I'm Organic!

Over the winter, I took a step back and decided I would really like to maximize the space on my balcony for growing vegetables instead of concentrating on my plot across town. I’m going to give it a go with greens, peas, bush beans, herbs, strawberries, and (some edible) flowers this year. Right now, the garden exists as some seed “flats” on my windowsill and a cold frame on the balcony.
