Our roof isn't suitable but we're using plenty of the front yard (where we get the most sun) and planting gardens that are sort of funky, ideas we got from "Roots, Shoots, Buckets and Boots" such as a teepee garden (for climbing things), pizza garden (round with sections, growing ingredients for pizza) and a Japanese-style container garden which isn't from the same book. I've been taking photos and will contribute to someone else's garden diary in the future when the fruits of our labors come in. We planted an olive tree several years ago, which makes a nice addition to the pizza garden.
We're trying to get a trend going in our neighborhood. I'll let you know how that works out, too.

Around here something called Lambs Quarter grows wild. It's tasty and will pop up anyplace, like mint.
Tastes a little like spinach and makes a nice salad.
Thanks! And I'm crazy about your set-up, looks marvelous and makes my mouth water.
The peach tree isn't doing anything yet. I must check if it should be.
