For most of the US this cold blast will be the last and it will be time to start getting our hands dirty. I have a 12 acre farm that fully supports my family and leaves plenty left over for storage and the future. While I'm biased a bit, I think it's time to bring back victory gardens.
Get out there, dig in the dirt, and plant some seeds.
Feel free to ask advice here!
Would love to have a garden. Have a small yard (really small. Barely enough room for the dog to do her business). Been trying to figure out/design the best lower maintenance vertical garden for my limited space. I travel quite a bit so need something that won’t die in a week when I’m not home. Any suggestions appreciated and moving or stopping travel is not an option :/
My husband made me something like this https://www.etsy.com/listing/1204487328/2-tier-bucket-garden-plans. You can put tomato or peppers. I like it- frees up my garden for other things
Nice ! We made something similar with free pallets but without the buckets.
If you have a wall that gets sun half the day, you can set up a vertical garden with multiple rows of pots. If there is any yard space there, you can plant in raised beds in front of that. At my house, I have a huge back wall to the garage that faces afternoon sun. I put in posts and raised beds. I ran pipe at the top along with wires and twine so I could plant tomatoes and other climbing plants. I planted lower plants in the beds, such as bell peppers, onions, and a lot of herbs. Rosemary will survive the snow and keep getting bigger year after year.
Yes I have 5’ or so of fence that gets enough sun. I have found this setup but so expensive. Need to figure out how to make something similar. https://flowerstreeturbangardens.com/
How many square feet?
For the only place that gets enough sunlight maybe 10sqft. 5x2
