Here are some pictures that might encourage someone who doesn't have room for a regular garden--or who doesn't have time to manage one--to enjoy micro gardening. If all you have is a balcony, you can still grow all the tomatoes and cucumbers your family can eat, with plenty to give to the neighbors.
I have plenty of space, but just find container and square foot gardening fascinating.

Close-up of one of the baby squash. I have four varieties of winter squash in four different pots to keep them from hogging my square foot garden space. The squash will need to be trained vertically soon as they are starting to sprawl.
There are two varieties of tomatoes growing in this pot. They are both loaded with blossoms and baby tomatoes.
This 4' square has New Zealand Spinach (loves hot weather), beets, scallions, 3 varieties of carrots (yellow, orange and red), cilantro and savory. The bugs hit the beets pretty hard, but they are making a comeback.
I have two other 4' squares and other containers, but they aren't in a photogenic stage right now.
