The Garden Plan

The 4th floor of an apartment building is not a great place to be a gardener, but that's where I live, so what am I to do! Try anyways!

Here's the plan,
2 hanging baskets
– The herb basket, thyme, parsley and chives (I didn't have good luck with chives last year… but I'll try again!)

– The strawberry basket. Apparently you can get alpine strawberries which do really well in baskets. I hope for an abundant crop

The short term investments
A pot for lettuce or mesculun mix
A pot for squash
A pot for rhubarb (I never would have thought this would work, but apparently you just have to keep it well watered)

Those plants I've already started
Pots for tiny tim tomatos
Pots for kale
Pots for broccoli
Pots for the green peppers

The long term investment
A dwarf plum tree in a pot (big pot)

So that's the plan for this years 4th floor garden, now to try it out!

    Herbal gardening is wonderful since the herbs can be grown in a variety of ways. Plant a container garden for you deck or patio for great colors, different textures and super aromas. Planning an herb garden in the ground will allow you to cultivate a traditional kitchen herb garden outside. Or if you have limited space, become an inside kitchen gardener and plant your herbs on a windowsill or in a window box.
