We can’t dig up the lawn (the soil is toxic anyway) but we are allowed to have pots/tubs round the edge and on the porch steps. Got peppers, cherry toms, blueberries, broccoli, kale, raspberries, strawberries and mini melons. Also got all the herbs and sunflowers. The weather here is great for growing tomatoes. It’s super hot in the day and then a thunderstorm with a whole load of water every week.
