Hello from Ontario!

Hello from Missouri! What direction does your back door face, sdavie? I think you are going to manage to plant quite a bit in that small space.

It faces west, and gets quite a lot of sunlight in the summer. Like, it's basically only in shade in the evenings. Sometimes.

Yep, sounds like Pigeons will be a problem, but you'll get it solved.

You could put a bunch of bottle towers out there and have lots and lots of growing things...and it would only take about 4 to 6 inches around the perimeter of the "fence"!

Howdy from southeast Texas and welcome to TEG!!!! I love your spirit and the fact that you are determined to grow what you can in the space you have! Way to go!!

Would you believe we had MORE pigeons just last summer? Our buildings roof had a huge hole in the side of it (over our apartment, go figure) and the pigeons were living in it. Now there are far few pigeons -- though still a pest. and this weird tail-less squirrel but he's mostly about in the fall and spring.

We have a squirrel that gets in our compost bucket on the deck. I really should get that back into a box but neither look so wonderful and I feel a little sorry for her when she shows up during late winter. She eats the inside of banana peels!

However . . . the squirrels also carry away the unripe peaches off the tree :/. Other than that, these Eastern Grey Squirrels, that I blame on Easterners - aren't of any other trouble.

Sdavies, you are using cookie boxes for starting seed? That looked so "normal" to me I overlooked it at first .

They're actually strawberry containers from costco! We go through A LOT and I mean, 3 boxes of strawberries in a week kind of a lot. Aha, can't have cookies around here -- as my fiance says, control starts at the store!
