Self-Portrait in the Garden. I am eager to post some before and after pictures of our garden very soon. There is no better feeling than eating foods grown righteously in your own garden. We have an interesting garden space to work with~the rooftop! Our garden is made from all reused materials. We made all of the raised bed containers on our rooftop garden from skids, part of a cedar fence, and untreated repurposed wood! The best part is that most of it was free and not being used so we made good use of it! We collect rainwater and some water from in the house to keep the plants hydrated:) and there is a compost bin to recycle all the juicing pulp, cores, peels, stems, etc. The garden is my favorite place to be! We have a little lizard that has made it up to the rooftop and he seems quite contented as we are with him because he is cute and eats some insects that could potentially be pests to the garden (he doesn't eat the really beneficial insects such as; the praying mantis, butterflies, bumble bees, and more). While you spend time in the garden you can also be getting in sunlight minutes. It is important to spend time in the sun every day for Vitamin D and happiness! Container gardening is great when you have space issues:)
