Suggestions for a victory garden if you live in apartment or small yard home. Build a container garden with 15 to 18 inch pots. Dozen pots will feed 2 people.
No fail pots, pots must have a drainage hole in bottom fill with Miracle Grow potting soil. Plant using plant starts or seed. Leave enough space for 1/2 distance recommended between plants and they will fill in making a NO weeding garden for you.
Water 2-3 times a week just till water puddles then let drain.
Place a large vegetable in the middle like a Tomato or Cucumber. Then smaller veggies like green beans, beets, radish, & lettuce are added on the outer ring. Many flowers and herbs can be added as well.
