My humble garden

This is my little patio/flower bed garden. One tomato plant, some wild flowers, zucchini, crookneck, cucumber, sugar snap peas, and bush beans. Since I took this picture, the zucchini gave up, and I hacked off the peas. I planted new squash seeds in the soil bag just to see what happens. Oh, and the tomatoes are getting orange! (They are Sun Gold.)

I'd sure like to. I want to utilize the fence next year for the peas. I can only expand so far, though, because it's a rental, and the landlord gave it a no-go for garden digging. =P But I have more room on the patio that I want to use, and I'm going to try to widen the flower bed. And if I grow the peas on the fence next year, that will open up a ton of space in the flower bed for growing. I left some of the dirt for the kids to dig in, but I think I'm going to steal some of it next year. =D

I was think the same thoughts, but I also thought maybe she's renting. The lawn would be gone! :D

If it were my house, it would be a giant dirt patch. And Hubs would be happy because he wouldn't have to mow! It'd be a total win-win! :mrgreen:

I agree, you could do more container gardening. My next quest is growing potatoes in 5 gallon buckets.
