Gardens are a great way to grow some fresh. organic produce. Growing your own food is not only good for you but is also a little easier on your pocket book, depending on how much your plants yield.
Pea plants are great if you're limited on space. They grow vertical and are not very bulky. I've grown peas the last two seasons and they are very productive plants. You can harvest them all season long.
If your cramped on space there are a few things you can do. The picture below illustrates a great idea for a balcony. You could also do individual pots.
The picture above illustrates how you could use landscaping materials to make a small garden as well. Spices and herbs work well for small spaces.
The last idea is using coffee cans that can hang as a way to grow a small garden as well. And they would be fun and cheap to make! It's like a 2 for 1!

ReplyDeleteJames, you should go for it! Try starting with something low maintenance like peas and some herbs. I'm sure once you get started, you'll be glad you did it!
