I’ve enjoyed watching your gardens grow over the past month and look forward to joining you. My garden is confined to a townhouse patio, so I push the limits ( both spatial and HOA) where I can. My 10 tomato plants, 8 peppers, cukes, beans, and greens are all in containers, and I’ve been growing this way since I moved here 14 years ago. This is the only sunny garden I’ve ever had, and I enjoy
It immensely. Very small scale, but enough to fill the freezer by fall.

Welcome to the Junction Cecenj. I did my gardening on my balcony for several years and enjoyed it immensely. You must have a pretty big balcony to have all of those plants up there.

[mention]pepperhead212[/mention] so nice to meet a neighbor!
[mention]AKgardener[/mention] I hiked some in Denali and around the Harding Ice field; so beautiful
[mention]tomike[/mention] Always treasure my visits to Canada, and I remember many wonderful gardens
[mention]Ginger2778[/mention] Marsha, I have 3 earth boxes, without which I wouldn’t be able to do much. Lots of large containers and a small raised bed. I’ve been in awe of your setup. 48 is a lot to manage!
[mention]eyegrotom[/mention] love the handle
[mention]MissS[/mention] 12 x 12 with beans and some tomatoes illegally on common space, but only a little......(Shhh)
[mention]Whwoz[/mention] hope someday to visit your part of the world
[mention]Setec Astronomy[/mention] are you north, central or south?


I look forward to continuing to follow all of your gardens
