We just bought our house last September and the majority of the back yard slopes steeply downhill. The most level area is behind the garage and is a gravel and weedy mess. So for now, we garden in swimming pools. 3 are 5 feet across by 10 inches deep, and 4 are 4 feet across by 7 inches deep. Large pool #1 held peas, and will have a second crop planted soon. Large pool #2 has Kohlrabi "Early White Vienna". Large pool #3 has zukes "8 ball", a bush cuke, banana peppers, and Cilantro. Small pool #1 has beets and carrots. Small pool #2 has herbs, Dill, Genovese Basil, Lemon Basil, Cinnamon Basil, Sweet Dani Basil, Catnip and Rosemary. Small pool #3 has radish, onions and Sage. Small pool #4 has Mesculn Lettuces planted at 2 week intervals and a cantalope.

Here are a few pictures:
