Let's face it. No matter how hard I try, the hard truth is I live in the middle of a densly populated city. I can almost reach out and touch my neighbors house from my bedroom window if I tried hard enough. If that wasn't bad enough my yard is all sand. I guess that is the price you pay for living so close to the beach, but it doesn't help when it comes to growing things!!!! It took me quiet a few years before I perfected the way to get just about anything to grow in my backyard. I fill just about anything with some dirt (I do have to buy the dirt from the store...since my backyard is all sand) and plant me some seeds. I am sure with some time I will make my container garden look a little better, but for now I am just happy to be growing something!!!!!

In this "container" I have basil, oregano,cilantro, a sunflower and a zenia.
This pot was my first attempt, and as you see it worked out well! |
