Since I posted a bit about my peppers in the pepper area, figured I'd make a post here about my 'small space' garden. My apartment has a small 3x5 foot area in the patio where no concrete was poured.
After letting it sit last year with nothing but weeds growing, this year I decided to do something with it. I removed most of the dirt and reworked the bricks that were already there to give myself a small bed to work with.
That wasn't enough, so I added two hanging planters on the fence, about 2.5-3ft wide, and just yesterday I built a 2x2 box to set off to the side to move some plants around.
These pictures were taken on June 12, just after I planted.
Here's the main area, from left to right we have:
2 Banana Pepper Plants, 2 Yellow Bell Pepper Plants, 3 Jalapeno Plants, and then Parsley, cilantro, oregano and basil. These herbs have since been moved into the 2x2 box to give the peppers more room.
Here is the left hanging planter - from L-R, there are three spicy globe basil , and one italian basil. I have since pulled one spicy basil that died, and the others have really taken off.
Here is the right planter, it's got L-R: Fernleaf Dill, Spearmint, and 2 Catnip plants (meow!).
And here is the whole picture (again, from June 12, just after planting)
I'm gonna head back out and take some pictures of where things are at right now, I'll post a reply back later.
