I have several places in our city garden where I could use that gutter garden quite effectively! Great idea, Maeve.

Hard for me to think garden when everything is under two feet of snow. I am hoping to get a few yellow heritage tomato plants ASAP but that is a long way off! Of the 8 different varieties I had last year, that one did the best (Djeena's Orange) and was tastiest for us. If I get good lighting, I can start them indoors in large pots this year and bring them back inside in the fall, she says, hopefully. There is not much room in our yard yet for more than the rhubarb, the herb bed and a few tomatoes. The gutter system could hold lettuce sorts, thins that are small and do not need a lot of sun. I could make a "second story garden" hanging them from tall metal posts, a few feet above the other gardens. Exciting concept! Thanks again, Maeve! I have something to plan - in addition to all the non-garden planning!!!
