If you don't have enough space in the ground for your garden, try planting a mini-garden in a crate or planter. Have you ever seen miniature vegetables at a grocery store or famer's market?
There are tiny tomatoes, onions, lettuce, carrots, pumpkins and many other vegetables that only grow a few inches tall. These gardens are perfect for small spaces. You can order the seeds from a seed catalog or through a plant nursery.
PLANTING TIP: If you use a wooden crate, line the inside with a heavy weight plastic garbage bag. Then, put small rocks on the bottom before adding soil.
