Deb Ebenroth has made creative manipulation of space in her Chicago garden .

" My name is Deb Ebenroth and I garden in a tiny yard in the Chicago , Illinois suburb .

I would wish the readers to be intimate that a modest yard can be just as satisfying as garden in a big K , but there are some condition . My yard is too small to set a rectangular vegetable bed , so where to put the veg ?   Mine are tucked in with my efflorescence .   Lycopersicon esculentum are tucked next to hibiscus , asparagus beans growing with clematis , and grape along the deck .   The crown jewel of the yard is a little my pond which is home to 6 large koi .   This mean that no pesticides or herbicides are used , making the yard a harbour for many birds , butterflies and dragonflies .   Hope you delight !
