My Porch Garden
Here’s a picture of my porch garden. I’m growing vegetables, herbs, annuals and houseplants in containers on this little porch out back. The weather is my biggest problem with this container garden because it is full sun, sometimes the heat is unbearable back there. A list of the plants pictured after the jump.

One thing that I’ve learned gardening in a small space this year is that rounded containers are a waste of valuable space. What are you growing in your small space?
