Isn’t this true? We depend directly or indirectly on food produced by plants. There are vital for our life and well-being. We have all come across vegetable gardens of different types – on land, pots, vines, hanging, etc., But, have you seen anyone grow cilantro in soda cans, potatoes in a barrel, and herbs on a gutter? Well, scroll down and you will see some unique vegetable gardens. Also, having a small backyard space doesn’t mean you can’t grow plants – you just have to be creative! And, this is the time of the year, when we can get our hands dirty in our gardens.
The pictures below are entirely convincing, and the links do give you more information on how to create these unique vegetable gardens. I think this is a kind of creativity that will help us stay healthy both mentally and physically. Planning the landscape, planting the seeds, maintaining, harvesting and enjoying the yields can be therapeutic to the mind. It also promotes a sense of purpose in life. There will always be something to look forward to every morning. It could be a new leaf, bud or a vegetable!
My son and I started gardening last year ad it is so satisfying. Not everything that we planted grew. Some things grew beautifully (like our tomatoes. Some only produced a little (like the watermelon and squash. Some came out deformed (the peppers looked awful, lol). But it still felt good to do something like that.
I love these ideas, especially the one in soda bottles. A week ago we planted strawberries, green peppers and tomatoes. Just last night we noticed growth. My four year old was so excited, this is really her little garden that she and Dad grew.
I am so in love with this post! I am so excited to start my gardens again this year. I love all these ideas.
I love the 3-tier hanging garden! My husband made some wood boxes last year like the ones pictured but instead of growing veggies we grew flowers!
I love these garden ideas! I think my favorite is the first potato one. So cool!
I really love that hanging gutter garden. It’s functional and actually stylish not to mention the herbs.
Those gardens are really cool! I especially love the hanging gardens…I may have to look into creating one of these as the soil where I live isn’t that great!
Wow I love all of the creativity involved in these gardens. I need to get out and weed my vegetable garden and now I feel inspired!
I love the ones that go up a fence or something! I would love to do a veggie garden in our yard if my dogs wouldn’t ruin it!
These are so cool. I really want to start growing my own herbs and veggies. That’s a big goal for me.
These are super cool ideas for a vegetable garden, I love that you shared this. I never thought of some of these ways to have a garden!
I would love to have a vegetable garden! I have always wanted one. I kill everything I try to grow no matter how hard I try, so I might have to borrow some fresh veggies from yours! 🙂
We have a small vegetable garden in the backyard. It is definitely not as creative as any of these!
I absolutely love these ideas! Especially the container with the potato door…genius!
I love vegetable gardens. There’s nothing like growing your own veggies in the yard. I recently created a vertical garden planter and I love it!
Wow! So many great ideas! Too bad I live in an apartment at the moment where we don’t even have a balcony, but I have to bookmark this post for the future 😉
I have never seen anyone use soda bottles that way. What a creative way to recycle!
Those are all really cool looking gardens. My yard is literally all shade, so I can’t grow anything in my own yard, which bums me out.
