    My Little Urban Garden

    Trying to make the best of my postage stamp size yard. Picking salad and herbs daily from the barrel garden is really cool.

      Looking at the side of your house I thought you were at Mr. Bones house. Just get rid of the yard and add more cookers.

              With a little imagination and know-how, you can turn a postage stamp yard into a nice place. I had one of those myself once upon a time. My contribution was to build a short retaining wall out of landscape blocks for the garden.

                I like the barrel idea, I have a small ceramic version of that with plants growing out the sides. Fun having a garden that's small and manageable.

                  Nice! You gotta make do with what you have. I find that gardening is pretty relaxing and it is awesome when you start to get those fresh veggies and herbs.

                    Spinaker The only problem with gardening is meat trees are hard to grow. Especially the fried wing trees.

                      Forest Park? I'm right down the Ike from ya! We are on a corner with a long swimming pool down the middle, kinda. The 6 feet or so on the fence side was unused and the boss was on me to finish (read start) the landscaping rocks along the pool. I had a couple yards of dirt to dig out and had no place else to put it so I built a 16x4 raised box. 4 yards of river rock, an aching back, and a week later the boss has a wicked cool garden. Except for the kale, down with kale!

                        Hey there neighbor. I'm sure there are a lot of swimming pools in Hillside....Kale isn't my favorite either

                      Hey great job. You can really get a lot out of a small space. Here is the method I have been using since the mid 80's where by back yard had about a 30 degree slope. https://www.bing.com/search?q=square...&setlang=en-US

                      Each bed is 4x4 with 2' between them or make them any size you want. They cost a little bit to set up at first but last forever after that. You can put your hanging baskets at the end of each row.

                        Hello. A very cool made garden. You are a great master, few people will be able to equip such a small plot. I especially liked your the barrel garden, very interestingly done, I'll take a note. I also have a garden with a beautiful lawn, the seeds of which I bought on this site [link removed by Huskee] There is also a small vegetable garden in which cucumbers grow that I bought at the local market, there are also tomatoes, I especially like their smell, pumpkin and some greens also grow. I want to build a gazebo for myself, I think it will look good in my backyard.
