Doesn't really foster a great area for gardening, does it? I had to get creative so I could grow at least a few things. We already have an orange and lemon tree planted. We didn't want to plant anything else until we have bought a house. Well, that was 2 years ago. (It is taking us a loooooooooooooooong time to find and actually purchase a home we like.) We have several fruit trees still in their pots waiting to be planted. But the good news is, the apricot and peach tree that we have had for 2 years are now producing. Yay! We're still waiting on the avocados, cherries, pomegranates, and blueberries.The lack of yard has not stopped us from planting vegetables either. We just had to get creative. My parents left a bunch of buckets that they had used to store wheat when they moved to their new house. My mom made the suggestion that we should use those to plant a garden. So we did. We drilled holes in the bottoms of the buckets for draining, put some of our lovely rocks in the bottom and topped it with soil we got from Home Depot or someplace like that. We planted the seeds and now we will wait to see what happens.
Last year we were successful with tomatoes, zucchini, and cucumbers, although they didn't produce as much as we would have liked. We'll try again this year and see how it goes. Do you have any creative gardening ideas?
I would try a raised garden, its going to take a trip to the lumber yard and some serious dirt that would need to be hauled in. I hope that all is well with you and the family.
