I am trying to start my first garden this year. I live in a bad neighbourhood, so I am trying to make a bit of an oasis in my tiny backyard. I will attach a photo of my beginning plants. I plan on putting flowering plants, veggies and a few fruits in there. I would like to keep everything in pots so that I can move them around, and if I need to move for any reason, I can just take them with me. Will this be a bad idea for any fruits or veggies? Also the people who lived in this apartment before me had a dog and it used only the backyard as a toilet all the time. Should I be adding anything to help the soil to at least be able to grow grass? The whole ground is just dirt right now. I would love to get some maitenance free ground cover...and input would be greatly apprecited! I dont know if I am being vague...let me know if you need more information. Thanks!
