Gardening with no garden space

I was supposed to write a guest post about gardening a week ago, but never had the time. Sorry about that! But I did manage to take a few pictures of how I am doing my garden this year. Because I really don't have any garden space in my yard, unless I rip up my grass in the back yard, which I may do next year, but anyways.........I have planted a whole lot of stuff in pots this year. Here are a few pictures of some of the things that I have growing. First off here I have zucchini growing in pots. This was about 10 days ago.
These are what they look like today!
I am thinking that they are going to do great in pots! The only downside of pots is that they need water daily. But hey..........it rains here almost daily..........so that hasn't been an issue yet!

I have some squash and pumpkin that I have planted throughout my flower beds. I have never tried that but, I am thinking they will overtake the flowers, weeds, and everything else, and they should grow good. Maybe less weeding!! :) They got a bit of hail last week, but here is what they are looking like............and if we could just get some heat, they might really start to grow.

I have peppers, tomatoes, and beans also growing in pots. Here is what they look like................and again, when we get some heat, they will really take off.

And here is what my garden looks like along the south side of my house. So who says you have to have a garden to grow things. Just be creative. I also have basil in pots, and have a picture of my grape vine here too. It is just starting to come to life.
I also have at my Dad's farm a large crop of potatoes and carrots. You can grow both in pots, but I want lots and lots to dehydrate and store, so it isn't easy to grow that many in pots. If you want fresh then just google how to grow potatoes in pots, and you will be surprised, it is pretty easy.

With the crazy weather and things happening in the world and even close to home for many of us, it is wise to plant whatever we can and learn how to use it and store it. My goal for my garden this year was to plant things that I want to put away like beans and squash, tomatoes and peppers. Kind of a staples garden.

I have been doing alot of dehydrating as well, and I am working on a post to show what I have been doing. It is pretty fun, and I love my dehydrator! So coming up next...............dehydrating all kinds of things!
