Hmmm. You still may not be able to do a lot, but it sounds like there
are a number of herbs and maybe other food plants that would grow as
potted plants on a section or around the edges of your asphalt parking
lot. If these were on shelves or on cement blocks this might even
be easier for you to handle from the wheelchair.

I will be starting my herb garden again this spring. I had a electronic
timer drip waterer hooked up to water my potted herb plants.
Unfortunately, the battery in the timer ran out, and I didn't realize
this until too late. So most of the herbs died. Maybe I should just
stick to the *Flori*legium. sigh.
