Just because you don't have a big back yard doesn't mean you can't reap the benefits of a vegetable garden in the city. A sunny window ledge, balcony, patio, or roof deck with six or more hours of full sun will provide plenty of space to cultivate and harvest veggies.
In Madrid many initiatives prove that cultivating your own food is a new winning trend!!
Maybe you have a little terrace like my neighbours, or you just have a balcony or a window. If you have neither of those you can always try a public space like la Huertita de Tetuan, Huertos Compartidos, or Red de Huertos Urbanos de Madrid all of them offer a lot of information including maps with associated gardening spots.
