Our Container Garden

One great thing about our container garden is that our separate containers were already present in Paul's backyard. Luckily, Paul acquired a backyard with some great separated beds that were perfect for growing an urban garden. Each bed has different dimensions, with two being 7 x3 ft, one 6 x 3 ft, and one 5 x 7 ft. Each of the four separate beds are also located in areas that receive optimum sunlight. Three of the beds lie adjacent to each other and are about one foot away from a brick wall. The other bed is elevated slightly and lies across from the other beds in an area that receives more shade. Some benefits of our container garden are that each bed has a good amount of growing room, the beds are located close to structures so that our taller plants can latch on something and grow straight, and also that they're located in areas that receive a good amount of sunlight and shade. Some drawbacks might be that the surrounding area of the beds are concrete, and that our containers might be somewhat shallow. Other than a couple drawbacks however, our container garden is a great place for an urban growing project.
