Vertical Gardening

[Anonymous]

It's January and the catalogs are coming, which gets me thinking about growing season. I think I might try a vertical edible wall this year. Started perusing sites, and there are lots of interesting ones! There are also some great products to help you along.

Also considering:

1) Garden railroad. I'd do this at our beach place up north because that's where all my nieces/nephews are and we can make it a family project. Plus, it's SO easy to dig the soil up there!
2) Arbor with grapevines and a patio under, be it gravel or flagstone set in sand
3) Lovely little Sun-shed for the backyard to replace the huge playground set we no longer use (anyone want a free one? you move…)
4) A parterre garden in the side yard, to grow veggies and/or herbs.

I want to do a lot of this work myself. Will be mentally stimulating and healthy for me. BUT, I am a woman, all of 5'2" so I think I will need some help with some parts. Husband can do some, perhaps hire a strong young high schooler to help me with some of the digging.

Anyone else have projects they are considering? Love all this planning on cold winter days
