I was very lucky. After living in my apartment building for several years I looked out the window from the common laundry room in the basement and realized there was a strip of land, about 12 feet wide, which ran the length of the building (about 400 feet). It faced south, and the growing conditions were clearly excellent because the weeds were growing lustily, five or six feet high. Sometimes it can take a while to see what's right in front of your nose, but even if you don't discover a hidden acre of prime land on your property, chances are you DO have a roof. So use it! | I was very lucky.

Growing an Urban Garden
by David The Good 3/1/26 YouTube
A south-facing wall helps you to extend the growing season, and can even allow you to grow fruit trees that might not be happy otherwise. It can push the zone, gaining you an entire growing zone or more! Right now, we're growing vegetables but we also plan to plant citrus and other fruit trees and perennials in this little space along the front of the store. Also, the sickle Rachel is using is an asaragus harvesting sickle from Japan, which we carry in our store. Hopefully, there isn't too much roundup residue in these collards. We ate them anyways, so wish us luck.

But it's arguably easier to grab a pack or bunch herbs from the produce section at the grocery store for about $2 or $3 while you're picking up the rest of your ingredients for dinner, so we asked garden experts whether it's worth it to grow herbs at home considering cost, convenience, food waste, and more.
Rhonda Kaiser, a Texas-based master gardener and author, says that in most instances, growing herbs at home proves cheaper than purchasing them, especially if you have go-to herbs that you cook with regularly, like basil, sage, mint, or cilantro.

NOTE!!!! Before anyone comments about pressure treated lumber...READ THE INSTRUCTABLE, we already advise against it in there and just because the wood LOOKS like treated lumber to you, doesn't mean it is. It's poplar. Poplar and a non-white balanced cheapo camera!!! Leave it alone or offer to buy me a better one. And YES, I totally abuse my kids. We've already dealt with THAT too in the comments...so if your comment isn't about the topic at hand or not a question, with all due respect....keep it to yourself. Thx.
