I use large pots and a system called "square foot gardening". Because the plants are close together there is less of a chance of something taking them over. So far this summer my garden is very happy,yelding grape tomatoes,larger tomatoes, basil (man do I have basil),sage,rosemary,peppers,mint,bib lettuce (until it got to hot ,going to plant squash in its place),blackberrys ( this is the only thing that the birds have bothered),oh! and some flowers.
This is my first real garden and I have been very pleased. You can Youtube square foot gardening and there is a ton of information. |
