By gardening in terraces, you can grow virtually any flower or vegetable normally associated with flat ground gardening. If you are designing your terraces from scratch, be sure to design them with adequate access space for garden maintenance and harvesting. If you can, design in a water drainage system that routes excess water on upper terraces down to lower terraces.

Vegetables. Problem solving Plants for Slopes & Banks. Often driving thru older neighborhoods, you'll often see homes several feeter higher than the sidewalk with a bank gradually sloping down to street level.
This is a a challenging site to grow plants. Water runs off quickly rather than soaking in often leading to erosion. A steep slope may need to be reworked by terracing or creating a retaining wall. For gradual slopes, planting groundcovers is a cost effective solution for dealing with these problem areas while stabilizing the soil, reducing maintenance while turning a negative eyesore into a gorgeous front yard.
They key to making this work is using certain groundcovers that form a solid, soil-holding mass quickly. A favorite and adaptable groundcover is Ajuga Chocolate Chip with persistent, fast spreading roots. Creeping Sedums are some of the most versatile plants that take hold effortless in dry soil and one of my personal favorites. Other groundcover considerations: A Slope/Bank Garden. Growing Uphill...

All the topsoil removed for house foundations or removing trees leave a rising bank of dirt on either side of the driveway, or down one side of the yard.
Or perhaps the property was once a ravine or built on a slope, but the plants that held the bank up are long gone. Without expensive terracing using timbers and stone walls, the bared earth will erode. Setting flagstones at an angle starting along the base of such a slope, and then working up in rows can be effective - especially if inter-planted with plants and shrubs with strong fibrous root systems. Common daylilies will handle gradual slopes - and this is the wild daylily (hemerocallis fulva) not one of the popular, but puny in comparison, cultivars.

Recipes There are so many similarities between quinoa (keen' wah) and amaranth that it seems appropriate to describe them together.
Quinoa, however, is a cool weather crop and amaranth is a warm weather one. Quinoa and amaranth are two very old, high-protein plants that hail from South America. They were held sacred in ancient Inca and Aztec cultures. Both now hold great potential for self-sustaining gardens in the northern hemisphere.
