My Patio Garden
“I grew up in a family that always had a large garden, and we spent summers canning and freezing. I didn’t know veggies came in tin cans till I started school!
“These days I find myself with no space for a traditional garden, so for the last 2 years I’ve been gardening in pots on my front porch, growing eggplant, squash, tomatoes, peppers, many herbs, and some flowers. Every year I add new plants or varieties. It’s great to come home from work and pick fresh veggies/herbs for dinner, and I love sharing them with friends — this year I handed out eggplant to all my coworkers. I tell everyone you don’t need much space or money; anyone can grow an amazing amount.”
