raising food

I never really tried this but I do live in the city. Now, I have a backyard where the neighbors grow vegtables and some fruit. They never offer me and my mother any, though. Yes, I'd be willing to try these options. It's good to see where your food comes from and help.

I've grown some yummy things in container gardens. I have about a dozen large-ish planter pots. I keep one going for herbs just about all the time, although when it gets too hot, they're pretty lousy. A neighbor has a variety of lettuces and several types of tomatoes. She grows a variety of peppers, too, from mild bell peppers to the hotest Scotch Bonnets. A couple of years ago, I had watermelon and canteloupes in the yeard that I hadn't planted. I found out that a couple of neighbor kids had been spitting the seeds over the fence to see who could spit them higher! It was a lovely crop! Things are probably very different where it gets cold, but there must be some things that grow well in pots indoors or on a sunporch...

That would be nice to have an inside garden. It's been to cold and rainy here lately so I don't think it would work.

hi savypat...people are growing vegs out of flower pots now. not just apartment dwellers but even those who have a home with a yard. it's a good way to protect your plants. so you don't need a vacant lot or yard. it's very convenient.

A heart which cab toil can grow golden green even in a pot in the crowded blocks of apartment to raise the food. hope you are with me dear savypat
