Buffalo, NY not only doesn't have any laws against gardens, but the city has an annual "garden walk" that people come from all over to attend each summer. On our block there are quite a few people with some serious gardens, so there is certainly an urban farming spirit here! <br /><br />I did spend a bit on containers, but they are easily re-used next year and for probably a good few years to come. The best deal of all was the black bins, which were only about $6 at Walmart and hold 11.4 gallons. I wish I had seen them sooner!Captive Rootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01031805075526793871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401414987111908022.post-75314218392850419582012-06-25T17:43:40.295-04:002012-06-25T17:43:40.295-04:00Wow! Your container garden is amazing! Everything ...Wow! Your container garden is amazing! Everything looks so lush, healthy and appetizing, even if it is in raw stage..You certainly have a green thumb..have any of your neighbors started themselves a garden on their porch like you? Maybe you've started a new trend or fad! Obviously, the city does not have any laws against this..with the economy so bad, they should encourage this..beautiful and congrats for such a great job. What year did you start planting veggies in containers? Do you do flowers also? <br /><br />PVICK from Gardenweb.com has a great rooftop garden on her porch..I think she is like on 9th or 10 floor. It is amazing what she grows there. I think it is either Chicago or NYC..hers are mostly flowers but she does grow some veggies. <br /><br />You've spent a fortune on containers..but they all look like they could be used over and for other things..and I commend you. You should submit your story about your success to one of the gardening mags..Pippi21noreply@blogger.com
