Things to think of when gardening in the city

Friday, February 22, 2008

When thinking of vegetable gardening, one often thinks of a beautiful house on a nice size piece of land with a 12 foot by 20 foot garden on the side lawn...

Well welcome to the city, where our kids need a place to play, many of us have a deck protruding into our back yards (I better soon...), the front lawn is tiny and often has a flower bed the size of a shoe, and the thought of planting anything edible is scary as there are just as many squires as there are humans in the city.

The battle against the squires is a tough one, however the harvest that can be had from a small amount of your yard dedicated to vegetable gardening is well worth it! There are many helpful websites about "Small Space Gardening". I have included a few bellow. I also read an awesome book last year about this, and will find out the title when I see Pernell's tattoo artist again (she is an amazing gardener and lent me the book, which I have since returned). Until then enjoy some of the reading bellow!
