I LOVE summer and I love gardening! I don't have much space for gardening plus I have 2 large dogs that think plants in the ground are just there for them to play with. So I do everything in containers. In my 'sky garden' I have tomatoes, squash, cuccumbers, green beans, and green peppers.

There is a 6 foot fence behind the Zinnias
