I grew up in a rural area. Every year, my dad planted a vegetable garden. I absolutely adored eating delicious green beans, yellow squash, okra, lima beans, and field peas from my family’s garden every year. When I married my sweet spouse, I was forced to move to an urban area due to my husband’s job. Unfortunately, I was unable to plant a large garden like my dad always did. However, I discovered something exciting: raised beds. These convenient tools are also known as gardening boxes. In them, you can plant all sorts of delicious vegetables. They are perfect for people who don’t have a lot of outdoor space. On this blog, I hope you will discover tips for planting a garden in the city.
