KK in Los Angeles has done a great job of showing how you can grow vegetables on a balcony in the city. She is growing in EarthBoxes but they could also be do-it-yourself sub-irrigated buckets or boxes.
I have always loved the tomatoes from my dad's garden. Living in the city surrounded mainly by concrete, I've grown to believe that I could never have my own garden. As an apartment dweller, I often miss the large backyard I grew up with as a kid. People living below, above and beside me make me feel like a rodent at times. But after a little research, I realized not only could I have my own little "garden" sanctuary, but I could also plant and enjoy some yummy vegetables too.
Check out the rest of her post on Girls Remember. You will find a series of photos that show what she has done in great detail. Well done!
Great..nice to know there are a lot of people like us...http://theurbanbalcony.blogspot.com/
