clueless: please be kind asked:


I’m trying to design a vegetable garden in containers, and would like to know what herbs/edible flowers would not overwhelm smaller varieties of tomatoes, squash, etc.

Where can I find free design ideas for easy to maintian container gardens?

scruffy asked:


I’m looking to make an easy to maintain container garden using a large Roman-esque pot. I’m looking for some design ideas that include height in the center with a mound and edging flora. Plant choices that include color and/or fragrance would be excellent as well. This container will sit in a semi-shaded area on the front porch in Southern California.
