Creative gardens...
I've been doing some thinking about creative gardens due to a members post. He said he didn't have a place to put out a garden. Well, I don't know his circumstances or others, but I do get creative in the garden and about where to garden. Roof tops are a good place to start if the roof is flat and you can get dirt up there or potted plants. Anywhere is a good place, a window sill is an excellent place to grow things. No sunlight isn't a problem either- they do sell grow lamps. I love to have fresh herbs in the home to cook with and I love to have fresh veggies. I will always go visit my childhood in my mind and eat veggies straight out of the garden. They are just so good, even with a little bit of dirt on them, meh, so what, a little dirt never hurt anyone. That's the old saying anyway. I've got one fantasy about the garden, but I'll keep that one a secret
So, how do you get creative in the garden?

The clearest explanation for failure of any marriage is that two people are incompatible; that is, one is male and the other female. - Anna Quindlen

Anyone that wants to grow plants can do so. They make a variety of containers for just about any space constraint. If your home has walls, you have space for a hanging garden. If you have shelves you have space for a garden.
I'm blessed with a good yard for gardening, but I like to keep my most precious ornamentals and fruit/veggie plants close to the houes in containers. It deters the critters from getting close enough to eat them! And they are a lovely addition to the seating area on the deck/patio in my backyard. Like sitting in my own personal mini-jungle
