After seeing the File Box Garden idea in the May-June-July 2008 MJF magazine, we decided it might be a way to out smart the pocket gophers! We had some unused storage tubs that we put to work.

I am loving this idea!

You can see photos of our new winter veggie garden on my Refining Life blog - the link in my signature.

They look great, Chris! I just got some free window planters from free cycle so I am going to do something similar!

Farmgirls,

Thank you so much for the encouragement! We always have large summer gardens, but never a winter garden, I will be sure to keep you posted on this method.

It just makes so much sense...but then doesn't everything "Mary Jane" make sense!
