Gardening for the Physically Challenged
An easy way to garden for anyone who has physical limitations. Very low maintenance, eco-friendly, and a terrific way to carry on your gardening traditions. You just need a small area of patio space, some really good dirt, and recyclable grocery store bags.
We planted these on Memorial Day 2011.

Cucumbers and mixed lettuce and arugula. |
 |
Same crop - less than 2 weeks later! Grow baby grow! |
 |
My favorite - tomatoes! Early Girl, Jet Star, Roma, and Cherry. |
 |
How fast they grow up - they need cages already! |
 |
Peppers of every kind! |
 |
Great use of an old charcoal grill. Note the garden hose? No bending for this chick! |
 |
Yellow squash and zucchini. |
 |
BIG leaves, and tiny squash are coming in! |

Almost forgot the herbs! Basil - my most versatile herb! I use it in everything. And there's some oregano, cilantro, more basil, and thyme (yes, I have parsley, sage, and rosemary too on the other side of the deck ;) WEEK THREE: Cucumber leaves are getting massive!
  The pepper plants have little flowers on them already! The tomatoes are springing up fast - up to the third rung on the baskets almost!  The yellow squash are coming in - going to have squash and pasta tonight.   Zucchini is budding too.   Baby tomatoes on the vine - Early Girl is indeed early. And Roma tomatoes too.  The Jet Star.               |
