thanks @abookworm, the #curie vote was on the 'goals of Steemit' list! I must credit @locikll for his support and submitting my post for the @curie. My short time here has been a lot of fun already!

I love to hear people growing their own food! But... I don't think any yard is too small. Have you considered selling plants? This can really help cover costs of the garden! I started with simply buying my garden seed, starting more than I would plant and selling a few to offset my costs. I was able to sell enough plants to expand from 17 tomato plants to over 100. I sold my tomato plants for $12 a piece, so one could achieve the same results with a small patio or less than 100 square ft.

Think vertical! Grow upward when you can't grow outward. Vertical systems work great for strawberries and leafy greens. If it is something you want to do, I have no doubt that you can indent fly a way that works for you. It never hurts to try. 😎🔥🚀 STEEM ON!!
