It might be a little cozy in the condo for chickens and other farm animals- but you can grow more veggies than you think in containers.

People who don’t have much land/yard should look into container and square foot gardening. Whatever you can grow, you are that much further ahead.

I have plenty of land for a garden, but I am just not up to caring for a real garden any more. This year I did the container gardening just to try it- it is working great, I wish now I had planted a bunch more containers.

Depending on where you are, it might not be too late to get some winter squash going - I wasn't going to bother, but I think that's going on tomorrow's schedule after all.

I tried planting some stuff in containers...about half came up, the other half was destroyed by f&@king squirrels digging all over my pots thinking they’ll find something.

I guess the solution is to sit all day out there with a shotgun...LOL...
