Mine is a little "container" actually that I had special built in the front of my townhouse. It's a riot of stuff now and I'm looking forward to finding some Spanish onions under all the marigolds :-) and herbs. I planted the herbs in small flues http://www.enonhall.com/images/11062005/flues.jpg so they couldn't "get out" and take over the rest of the garden.

I was late planting because I had landscapers come do the whole front and back of my house we just moved into a couple summers ago; there was nothing but grass mostly and a huge hill under our deck that I needed planted so it wouldn't have to be mowed, etc. I had medium-large grass plants planted in back on one side where the neighbor dog jumps the fence :-)

But back in May my arm started having a nerve problem that I'm just getting over so I haven't been able to weed or anything! I've barely been able to water enough. Our construction (new porch, balcony, deck) didn't get finished until late so the landscapers didn't get in and out until the beginning of June so I was late planting the vegetables and kept it pretty simple, just did an "Italian" garden with 1 Roma tomato plant, 1 Better Boy and 1 Beefsteak; a banana pepper, 3-4 kinds of herbs in 6 flues -- oregano (my favorite), basil, parsley, and garlic chives (which ended up being disappointing because they didn't "grow", didn't even try to take over but the basil made up for them :-) 6(?) marigolds and several Spanish onions to "fill in". They didn't do too well since I didn't buy individual bulbs but the thin clumps I had to try and pull apart and separate, etc. and I haven't the patience for that :-) So, I might have 3-4 onions and, since I didn't water very well recently and the marigolds and herb (tops :-) overran and "shaded" them I don't even know how they're doing; I'll have to uncover to see. But the other day I went to pick a couple tomatoes and they were white fly city where one that was overripe had open.

My neighbor weeded the hillside under the deck which got overrun with thistle! I couldn't do much in the vegetable garden much less the hill so most of my lovely blueberry bushes died :-( from not enough water. Everything else was okay though and flourished but with the thistles and other weeds all throughout them. But my neighbor and her girlfriend liked to sunbathe but got bored after a bit so she asked could they weed, would I mind! She did a huge pile and made it look much better. . . for awhile. The landscaper is supposed to call me this month about coming out and getting the place winterized and put to bed, etc. It was a weird summer and I'm not sure they put the plants/beds in "right" to begin with but they certainly weren't easy care. But today I'll get out there and do something with the veggies or at least get a start.
