I always wanted to have a garden but my house is surrounded by tiles. So I can only plant in the pots. And that too in the terrace and around the house(semi-ventilated-shady area). I wanted to grow Organic vegetables and fruits. But the plants I grow should be suitable for chennai climate and should be small plants so that it can be grown in pots. Please suggest( okay even if u give some external links). Thank You.

Your climate is good for growing vegetables. Go with patio tomatoes, peppers some types of squash and any any of the smaller plants. Many can be grown in pots without any problems if the plant and fruits are not to large. http://www.howtodosite.com/?page_id=441

Are there any CONS to starting a community garden?

There is an empty lot in my low-income neighborhood, full of dirt and dead grass, only used as a shortcut to the adjacent street. I’d love to see a community food garden started here, but as I’m the only one thinking this over, I’ll start small… I’m planning on doing some guerilla gardening in the late winter, early spring.

only cons are the work it takes; i found u a story about it though below…it helped me get going on the idea.
