My container garden

Spark · 05-14-2009, 06:11 PM

Took a photo today, and I figured I should share.

Bananas, strawberries, tomatoes, turnips, radishes, peas, beans, spinach, sorrel, catnip, irises, and some carnivorous plants. I'm going to be planting a summer squash and some herbs in the tiny actual bed of dirt I have just behind the fence there. It's semi-public, since it's the border of the path that my neighbors use to go get the mail, but I'm having so much fun gardening I figured I might as well, even if the neighbor kids might tear them up.

if the kids tear that up..... you can always plant cactus then they may leave it alone.

I don't think there are any cacti that grow well with heavy rain several times a week. Western Oregon is a bit too wet for cacti.

A little too good, they're an invasive species here.

Good for you w/ your pot garden! There's a lot of ppl who only have balconies to grow & they are successful.
I have a killer thorny rose bush that would keep anything away LOL.

Hi Spark. I wondered how your container garden looks now with summer upon us. Looking forward to some pics!
