Given the tick situation, my husband has decided to garden only in containers on the deck and not mess with clearing land. So far we have had some nice lettuce, arugula, rosemary, and tarragon. The grandsons pick the flowers. Neighbors who live in Rhode Island year-round have a serious garden, but it is surrounded by a very high fence to thwart the deer.
I liked the gardening-with-pop-bottle idea from another WordPress blogger, “Your Other Mother Here,” here. I’m trying to picture how you keep the little planters watered just right, though.
