What can I do for a very small garden out front?

Hi,

You can build a raised garden, 8 2x4's, screws, potting soil, this is something that you & your child can do together. If you want a Veggie garden, you can root celery & onions, get a starter of tomato plant or several and plant in the raised garden. You can make it as large or small as you wish take the 2x4's and make a box, screw the boards together, let one 2x4 cover the corner and screw together, do the same to the rest of the box, stain if you want then pour the potting mix in make a hole and plant. U think you will enjoy this, it can be relaxing.

To root Celery; cut the bottom off and put it in a bowl of water until you see strings/roots, then plant.

To get Bell Pepper plants take the core out of the bell pepper and plant the core with all the seeds, water, watch it grow.

To root any onion: save the part with hair on the bottom, pierce with toothpicks and put it in a glass of water, let the toothpicks hold it up.

Save the seeds from apples, oranges, lemons, grapefruit and plant them, you will have a veggie/fruit garden.

Hope this helps

Why thank you Kathy with a 'K'. Just like my mother spells her name. Do you mean to put just a few pots out front? Sounds like it may work. I do not like gardening because nothing seems to work where I am. I chose mulch last year as too difficult to water grass each day and little grass on my side (as share a lawn). Could never work it out with neighbour for watering schedule. My side is actually smaller due to the big tree that provides shade over little garden space I have.

Thank you so very much. A plethora of wonderful people here with wonderful ideas! LOVE IT!

You all are fantastic! So happy I clicked to join this site. LOL. Now, I need to google, 'phlox'.
