Patio Garden

No ground to garden? Grow summer veggies on the patio.

Growing vegetables can bring out the farmer in you. You till the soil and tend the plants, and then reap the rewards when the plants bear fruit.

Even if you don't have much gardening space or sunny ground, you can still experience the pleasure of harvesting your own vine-ripened tomatoes and other crops. All you need is a generous-size container, good potting soil, and a patio, deck, or corner that gets at least six hours of full sun a day.
