We’re growing carrots, lettuce and cantaloupe and I must say, it’s not at all that I can’t buy these things (and buy them organic) but it is the fun of checking on them each day, caring for them, realizing how amazing the world really is–if you don’t believe in miracles, just plant a seed, then see it as a 6 foot tall sunflower, how in the world can that happen! How can the energy from water, sun, and dirt make something from nothing? Unbelievable!!!

These are gorgeous! The greens are edible too, which should get you a little more bang for your hard work.

Hey! – I designed that garden (2008/2009)…It was installed by Holly, Wood, and Vine – I thought the property was on the market a long time ago, actually. Greenpersuasion – I’ll put you in touch with the carpenter if you’re still interested; he’s an independent contractor.

Are are some links to posts as it was being built and planted:

Look forward to seeing the progress! Im planning our rooftop garden here in Mexico City and we plan on veggies, herbs, cacti (actually that is already up there!) and some flowers. Starting off easy with herbs and jalapeno peppers, will go on from there!

Hey, didn’t realize you guys had made it down to the Flower Show. Went on Saturday and was almost suffocated! Crazy crowded, but some really cool things. I LOVE the miniature gardens, terrariums, litte gardens with plants growing on or around rocks. I think I may like the houseplant sections more than the crazy table settings with lava pouring under them! I’m doing veggies this year too, starting them inside now in pots and just moving pots to new deck when it’s built in the spring! Good luck! So excited for all of your adventures!

Very sleek looking planters. Any idea who built them or who were the garden designers?

I’ll do some digging…
