We have tried gardens at our rental townhouse for years. We had a small little tiny spot of earth and they wouldn't grow past a certain point and the critters ate on them like crazy because they were the best thing in a huge radius to eat on. *sigh* The only thing I could grow and harvest was jalopeno's.
We prepared the bed the way my talented farmer of a Grandpa would. I was a tractor. Ask the kids about it. We started from seeds just like he does and prayed over the seeds before planting. :) Eli's prayer was very sweet.
So here it is! On the 1st of May.
It is now the 15th and look at them grow!

Broccoli:

The kids have had a blast tending it. And they can't wait to harvest! :)

Oh Chelita, I am so jealous! I want a garden like that! Our little plants are in plastic containers, but they are growing and we picked our first banana pepper the other day. Lindsay was so excited! I have a photo that I need to post of her holding it. I can't wait until we can have our own garden. Enjoy those vegetables. MMM.
Nice garden! I recommend growing marigolds and garlic with your veggies. They will help keep some of the pests away.
Thanks for your comment!
Peace and Laughter,

Hey there are whole books devoted to potted garden's. My grandmother is huge into it! :) Look at your library. :)
Cristina, I will so add some!
Oooh I'm jealous! I want to start a garden so bad! I wonder if it's too late already?!
Retro, I wouldn't think it too late...depends on when the first frosts start where you are. You could plant late harvest type stuff like pumpkins, potatoes, etc.
I am also jealous! I would have loved to do something like that-the only thing we have is some habenero plants that I havent even planted in the ground yet...b-c just as soon as I do I know they will probably die!! haha
have never been good with that kind of thing :( the kids are amazed as well :) Desiree repeated each little plant name.
