Creating a garden doesn’t have to be expensive

My name is Wema Mojar from Mississauga , Ontario , Canada . We have an abandoned consortium that had become an eyesore , so I grow it into a classic small infinite garden using old Mary Jane , some drivel bags , and other inexpensive cloth .

I go most of the vegetables from seedling that I grew in my mini - greenhouse . I combined flowers , foliage , and veggie in differentcontainers , and they turned out fantastic !

Magenta petunias ( Petuniahybrida , annual ) , violet vervain ( Verbenahybrid , annual ) and orange nasturtiums ( Tropaeolummajus , one-year ) offer lots of color and beauty , with productive veggies growing behind them .
