We decided that we wanted to have a garden this year in our "yard" (that's what we call our 5'x12' balcony patio) So Eric drew up a design for a space saving hanging strawberry tower and a planter box. We went to home depot and bought the materials we needed and built the planters. I think the material to build the boxes and buy the plants cost us more than it would been have to buy already grown vegetables and fruits, but its the experience that counts right? And it also made for a few fun nights of Family Home Evening.
Once the boxes were done, we planted strawberries, red peppers, green beans, tomatoes, basil, cilantro and lettuce. Can't wait till they start to grow!
This is Eric's 3D model he drew before building the tower. We'll see if they actually grow well in here.
