Hello.
My name is Leslie and I live in Philadelphia. I am a new and upcoming urban gardener. I mostly garden things I can eat! I absolutely love gardening, and I am welcome to any helpful information people can lend me, especially about gardening in small spaces and container gardening.
Glad to be here.
Leslie

Hi Leslie - welcome. What kinds of plants have you been growing? Are you mainly using containers or do you have a small plot that you can cultivate?

As for small spaces, I've had pretty good luck with different varieties of lettuce, bell pepper, basil, italian parsley and strawberries - all of which don't take up too much space. If you've got a little bit more space and lots of sunlight then one tomato plant or zucchini can really surprise you with how much it will produce!
