With half of my garden being used to raise my little flock of chickens... I have had to make some modifications this year. So I have used some dirt on the "yard" side of the brick wall. So far the garden is doing great and I made my first harvest today. In the "side garden" this year I have carrots, celery, onion, cilantro,green beans, chives, & lettuce. I don't think I will bother with lettuce again. Once you bring it inside and clean off the outer leaves there hardly seems to be enough to do anything with. (And its like $2 at costco)
On the "yard side" of the garden I have zuchinni, cucumber, tomato, bell pepper, strawberries and sweet snap peas. The snap peas don't ever make it into the house, as soon as I see one grow.. it is washed and eaten. I saw this great idea for a strawberry tower at the nursery. you just layer ascending sized pots and plant strawberries in them. It takes up less room in the dirt, since my dirt is limited in the back yard.

I think it's so great that you garden! Love it! AND I love the idea of the strawberry planter - how cool, and totally neat!
I was wondering how your garden was doing...well...not really, but I was wondering how the chickens were doing. I am jealous that you can grow a garden!!!
