Community gardens are fantastic! I’ve only just started getting into gardening. My parents have done it for a long time and use cold frames so that they can get food 10 months of the year.
Lettuce is super easy - some of its even made its way into my lawn from when I let it go to seed one year, lol.
My favorite trick is using an empty cat litter pail (the big ones with a lid, not the pour able ones), drill some holes in the bottom, put in a layer of rocks for drainage, and the rest with soil. It’s a great pot for growing sale greens, and the handle makes it fantastic for if I need to move it around. We can’t recycle the cat litter packs in my county so this is what I do with them
i love those cat litter pails. i haven’t thought about growing anything in them before. i have a friend who wants some of my lemon balm and i’m going to start a bunch in one of those to give to her. Thanks for the idea!
