You sound clever! I saw an interesting use of an old piece of guttering - mounted along a fence, ends closed up and filled with soil to grow lettuce! I’m not doing it, but thought it was a clever use of something that might have otherwise been thrown away

Yes, what is a Texes girl doing in PA? Hmmm? No, I’m not the least bit clever, I just think I’m capable of doing anything I set my mind to. Many times I’ve had to try something else.

I’ve been reading books, borrowing books, buying gardening magazines to learn what needs to be done. Now I’m on the lookout for a book about plants doing best with other plants. I’ve seen all sorts of hanging plants in all sorts of planters. There is a planter “pocket” made from reused tires attached to a wall. Looked nifty. We have a berm around the first floor of our house with open areas for the patio, the front door and the garage. The area into the garage and front door has a concrete wall to hold the earth & vegetation in place. After seeing some of the hanging plants and climbing plants, I’m going to see if we can’t utilize that space too. Shoot I’ll try just about anything to see if it works.
