Underneath our deck is U-G-L-Y. I've been trying to figure out what to do to hide it. I saw an online tutorial on instructables.com on how to create a hanging herb garden from a door shoe rack organizer. it seemed like a great idea...but I worried that I'd be spending $30 on something that was going to rot by the end of the summer. Cue the craigslist free section..pallets! Off to Lowes to buy a staple gun, some landscape fabric to line the back of the pallets with and a bag of dirt. The left pallet is all veggies and herbs, the right one is annuals and a few perennials. Cross your fingers this little experiment works!

good job!!.........vertical garden!
you are so clever!!! how do you have time to think of this stuff???
love it! It is a brills idea for hiding the fugly under-the-deck area. You are a clever girl, and Molbak's has this same thing (only fancier of course) for about a zillion bucks. So yay for being thrifty.
seriously? i love this idea! can't wait to see if it works (which i'm sure it will)!!!
(That was me above)...
