Chicago Roof Earthboxes

15 years ago

Here's a few shots of mine rooftop garden this year. It's my first year with the Earthboxes and I tried tomato, onion, peppers, eggplant, zucchini, broccoli, cucumber, strawberry, romaine, and red leaf lettuce.

Here is a link that might be useful: {{gwi:353}}

Sorry, I can't figure out how to load the pictures. This is much different than most forums. My pictures file size is too big for the thread. You can find some more pics on the Earthbox.com forum under the Chicago Roof Top Garden thread.

the picture showed up fine..
3 rows, a dozen boxes...when was this picture taken?
not much growth on the trees, around the city....
you have a great start on your garden.
I have wanted the Earthboxes for quite a while but haven't gotten there yet.

enjoy!
