Quick, Easy, and Portable Vegetable Garden

A collection of pots, just waiting to be planted in!

This spring I was very late to plan my garden and starting work on it. Fortunately, I knew that my schedule through the winter and spring would be tight, and I had been scheming in my head how to grow some vegetable this summer with the time I had.

Moreover, I did not want to dig up the yard and preferred something that was semi-portable. The property next to ours is slated for development, but the best sun is right on the property line. I wanted to do a garden that would allow me to move my vegetables a titch if need be.

Those two factors: 1) tightness of time; and, 2) uncertainty of placement of the garden, led me to consider a quick and portable way to get some seeds in the ground. An article in Mother Earth News gave me some ideas and a rotation plan that has been helpful.
