Small Space Container Gardening

I love gardening. I love dirt in my nails (though I admit, I bite my nails, so there is not much nail there). I even love the smell of dirt. Living in base housing though there is not much outside space. We currently live in a 4 unit townhouse, so our outside space in limited to our little patio. What's a wanna-be farmgirl to do?

Why, container gardening of course! I had tons of luck last season, so I planned on doing lots more this year. I am using big Rubbermaid containers and some other big tubs and buckets I got from WalMart for 5 dollars a piece. Cheaper than flower pots!

 Tomatoes, green beans, peppers, salad greens...oh my!

Basil, rosemary, oregano, and thyme. There was cilantro, but the mutant squirrels got it. That story is a whole post in itself.

I can't wait to start getting some veggies! They are coming though! Then....let the canning begin!
