The temperatures have been slowly rising and it's been so fantastic to get outside and enjoy some sunshine lately, sporadic though it may be! These April showers have been encouraging our garden beds, hedges and trees to sprout new life and blossoms but we have several planters on our newly stained patio that are noticeably bare. The raised vegetable boxes that we planted a couple of years ago don't get nearly enough sun in our lower yard so I've been on the lookout for easy and affordable ways to start growing herbs and maybe even some vegetables up on our deck. We've all seen the beautiful succulent frames and walls floating around out there but why not switch it up a little and plant lettuce and herbs on the vertical instead?
