I currently rent my house and while I'm planning on buying later this year, I can't refrain from obtaining new and interesting perennial plants right now. After all, it is spring out there and new plants have always been a major part of my spring activities. But, what can you do when you have a rented property and you're planning on moving.

This afternoon, I decided to do some planting but I ran out of both pots and space to put them. There was a narrow strip along the side of the house that promised both shade and good visibility. The barbeque sat there along with a few other tools but these were all quickly moved into the garage. To make good gardening use of this space, I spread out black plastic bags to stop weeds or grass from growing and then set my new perennial pots out on the plastic. Leaving the plants in the pots, I arranged them as if I were planting them; tall plants to the back against the house siding, gold leaved next to dark green, and short plants to the front etc. Next I filled between all the pots with peat moss. The peat will keep the plant upright and protect the pots from drying out. When viewed from standing up, the pots disappear under the peat and the garden looks like it was planted. All I have to do is keep the peat moss damp and the plants will grow into a perennial garden.

When I leave this fall, I'll simply pull up the pots, bag up the peat moss into the garbage bags and truck my plants to their new home. But in the meantime, I have what appears to be a garden, my waste space is occupied with plants and my plants will be happy.

4. Organic gardening
Organic gardening is a very fun and relaxing thing to do. I use raised beds in my organic garden as it makes it easier to maintain. In half my boxes I used the existing dirt that I sifted the larger rocks out of. I then added some peat moss and sandy loam for good drainage. In the other half of my boxes I purchased organic garden material from a local supplier that already had the peat moss and sandy loam. I actually liked the organic garden soil I purchased better as very fewer weeds ever came …
