So, how does your garden grow? Probably in the normal fashion, neat and tidy rows in the ground or maybe you prefer raised beds, like I do? Have you gave much thought to vertical gardening? I'm a big fan of any type of trellis, arbor or tower, not only do they add height to your garden but it gives you more growing space or shade for double duty crops. I came across this planter made from a pallet ( Pinterest strikes again) and couldn't keep this to myself! What a wonderful way to recycle, add more growing space and done right, this could make a nice screen or allow the disable to garden again.
I hope your not tired of my Pinterest plugs, but I can't help it, I've found SO many neat ideas, yummy recipes and more inspiration than I can file away! So, don't say you have no room to garden, there's always room for a few veggies, herbs or flowers! So, grow up!!!
I am also a big fan of vertical growing! We are growing our strawberries in boxes stacked randomly on a pole, and have already harvested quite a few! We also built other structures for our melons, tomatoes, and cucumbers to climb on. It definitely provides more space in the garden!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog. Thanks for sharing!
Anything that keeps me from having to bend to the ground is a big YES on my list. This is so unique. I really had to look to see that it was a pallet. I'm going to have to try this! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I have never heard of or seen this kind of growing method...Great idea! I too am a huge fan of Pinterest! Sure wish I had come up with this program..

I have not joined pinterest so I enjoying when others share ideas from it. The planter is a great idea..I will show it to my husband. He wants to grow some tomatoes but we live in an apartment right now and this may be something he will try.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying raised veggie beds for the first time myself this season ~ tomatoes and cucumbers. Got the idea from Pinterest, so no, I never get tired of Pinterest!
