Bloom Where You're Planted!

One fine day not so long ago, I took an alternate route home and this greenhouse caught my eye.  The sidewalk starts maybe a foot or two out from where this fence is so this is very close to the street.  On the other side of the greenhouse, is a concrete retaining wall that holds this little piece of land from falling 20 feet into the parking lot below. 

Look!  Real huge gorgeous looking tomatoes.  It's been a great year for them and they've done especially well in the added warmth and protection of this glass house.

The gardener of this small garden has used every space available.

There's even a compost bin.  I hadn't heard of composting kitties but I suppose it could be done.

Here we are looking the other way at the greenhouse and plantings. 

Cool fence posts made to resemble similar historic rock work in this neighborhood.

Here we're looking at the steep drop off to the lot below.  There is a slim path that runs the length of the sliver of land back there.

Making clever use of every bit of available space, the green net supports squash/gourd/pumpkin vines and hangs over the air space of the parking lot.  Pretty cool idea, right?  So how do you get the stuff off of the vines?

Looking from the greenhouse to the house.  There must have been a large building in the space between as the land  suddenly stops at the edge of the house.

It just goes to show that a gardener will make his idea of Eden wherever he finds himself.
