Someone commented to me this week that they didn't have enough area in their yard for a garden. My response was, you can start small like a 4 x 8 raised garden bed and grow several varieties of vegetables over the course of the summer. If you don't even have the space for a 4 x 8 raised bed, consider container gardening. For this upcoming growing season I ordered a Topsy Turvy Upside Down Tomato Planter utilizing my $25 gift coupon from Garden's Alive! I received a FREE catalog with a $25 gift coupon that could also be used on shipping. My total out of pocket was $3.10!
