Our Small San Francisco Container Garden
We don’t really have a lot of room to garden at our San Francisco Edwardian row house. Our backyard faces north and doesn’t get enough light to grow vegetables, and our south-facing front stoop had very little real estate. We’re limited to whatever containers we can fit on our sunny front stoop.
Last year, we had several container herbs, strawberries, and vegetables growing on the stoop and some sunflowers growing in the sidewalk. This year, we decided we weren’t going to bother – it’s a lot of work, we don’t have enough space to get a lot of yield, and the plants we grew out front were constantly vandalized.
This month is
garden month
Well, it looks like we’re gardening this year, after all.
