hanging garden

[tjshorty]

Just finished the umbrella and getting ready to hang the pots of flowers and other goodies to eat.  It's wrapped in chicken wire and I have hanging baskets.  This will serve two purposes to provide food and give shade for the table.  I am hoping it won't look entirely stupid when it actually is done and the plants are grown.  I have a vision of what I think it will look like.  that usually doesn't mean that's what it will look like.  Any way, my vision is beautiful.  Have any ideas on what I should plant?

Hope it turns out as beautiful as it sounds. Let us know.

I have never really gotten in to flowers but I do enjoy looking at other peoples work.

Since the weather can't make up it's mind.  I haven't done much with it.  After the storms last night.  Pretty happy that I didn't have it finished.

  Wow that sounds really neat - I'm sure the result will be beautiful and give you plants/flowers and ultimately some good things to eat.  Your idea sounds really artistic.

I just bought some long metal hooks to hang plants on since the neighbors dog keep peeing in my plants. I think you should grow herbs like rosemary and parsley is good too.

It definitely sounds like a unique idea. I'd try strawberries, vine beans,tomatoes and cucumbers. Good luck . Let us know how you make out in a month or so.

You can pretty much grow anything, anywhere (it depends on where your at on what to do) infact you can grow many plants indoors (even fruit trees and tropical plants). Tomatoes, sugar snap peas (very easy to plant and quick to grow), peanuts (though you would have to roast them after harvest), grapes,  hardy kiwi, hops, akebias, i really don't know what type of environment you have around you so some of these might not work out but with experimenting you'll be able to find out what dose and what don't (as for indoors its a controlled environment so anything gose)
O & good luck on your invention
heres a youtube channel that you might want to look at (i like it & you might also like it as well)

It sounds like a good idea. I hope it turns out all right.

Ivy geraniums look great in hanging baskets and can be taken indoors for the winter.  I also have seen petunias in hanging baskets but am not sure about taking them indoors.  Both of these will bloom all summer long but the petunias may present more blooms in relation to foliage, although the geranium foliage is a prettier leaf.

Sounds like  it will be beautiful.

That Sounds very nice.
I would think geraniums, patunias, or impaitence would look great in the Hanging baskets.
Good luck and let us know what you decide.
Have a great Day!

 :)Thanks for all the comments and advice.  I have a few things growing  since it's so late in the year I probably won't plant any more.  It didn't turn out quite like I had wanted.  I think when every thing finally comes in it will look closer to what I had imagined.  Next year I will plan better for it.  Thanks again for your helpful suggestions and comments.

You know how that started right? People who had soil to dry or no room to grow things decided to hang their plants and it worked... In fact the plants did thrive better than some that usually get planted in the ground... Smart idea

I didn't know for sure.  I remember seeing the first commercials for topsy turvey plants  i tried those that didn't work to good for me.  My brother told me the original ones were five gallan buckets that a man hung on a close line.    I do it because I don't have enough sunlight in the area that I have space to plant.  To many trees and roots.  I also don't like tilling the ground.
