My mother jokes that by the way I talk about gardening I have a secret farm somewhere. Sadly, that is not the case.
What is a condo dwelling Domestic Goddess to do you may be asking. Good question. So good in fact that I will tell you.
When you run out of ground, think UP!
Today I was lucky enough to receive Daylillies (Tiger) from a neighbor, thanks to Freecycle. Normally, I don't use the little plot of dirt I have for flowers, but I love the Tiger Lily. How could I not devote a small corner to it's beauty?
On the way back from picking up the flowers, I stopped at the local gardening shop and picked up a few plants. So far I have a 'patio' tomato plant, broccoli, bell pepper, white eggplant and cucumber plants. Just one of each. That came to $12 total, I have $4 set aside for lettuce if I decide to grow some in hanging baskets. If not, I lied and it's "My $12 Garden".
Hidden away in the closet was a TopsyTurvy. No, I am not paid to endorse them. (Hint: Topsy people, I will be willing to praise your glory if you send me 5 of them for next year) This is the first year I will be using them, I have made my own in the past.
Life would have been easier if someone hadn't stolen all my gardening tools. I had to dig it with a shovel about the size of a tablespoon!
