What Houzz contributors are saying:
Whatever you choose to grow, retaining walls make every plant easily accessible and always within an arm's reach.
added by Becky Harris to Unexpected Edible Gardens
In this tiered garden, leafy greens look just as beautiful as a more typical ornamental plant.
added by Vanessa Brunner to 3 Fuss-Free Ways to Garden
Stone raised beds are a good substitute for traditional wooden-framed raised beds. The levels actually save a little space, while still allowing you to grow a variety of plants, just like a standard container garden. A timed irrigation system could easily be installed in this area, completely eliminating any need for watering by hand. Next, see two fun container options for small spaces.
added by Marianne Lipanovich to Easy Herbs for Every Space
Prostrate rosemary is a great choice along walls. (Click the photo for a better look at it above this shelf of greens.) The flowers provide color, and the plant can tolerate hot sun, reflected heat and little water. Both flowers and leaves are edible, and you'll find birds, butterflies and even bees hovering around the plant when it's in bloom.
added by Marianne Lipanovich to Cool-Season Vegetables: How to Grow Lettuce
Harvest: Though you usually see heads of lettuce for sale in groceries and at markets, you can harvest individual leaves of leaf, romaine and Batavian lettuces. In fact, a common method is to sow a mix of these seeds, allow them to grow, then cut leaves off about 1/2 inch above the crown. They’ll quickly regenerate, and you’ll have an ongoing source for lettuce. You can also eat the thinnings and young leaves of butterhead and iceberg lettuce, then wait until the entire head forms and harvest the entire plant.More: How to grow arugula and other salad greens
