I am working on compiling research for a paper on Period Container Gardening
hoping to encourage people in your exact situation. Even if you don't have
"huge tracts of land" you can garden in a period manner.

Thank you for the evidence of period use of containers for gardening. It stands to reason that it might be period, but I just hadn't considered it. I think a lot of people might be interested in your paper. When you get it done, I would like to consider it for the Florilegium, if you are interested. I can handle pictures and drawings if you have permission to use them.

For those thinking of a garden in a small area, you might also be interested in this article which can be found in the PLANTS, HERBS AND SPICES section of the Florilegium:
