Reply #169: I'm experimenting with a very small bit of gardening this year

[Occulus]

I intend to use this year as a "this is what you shouldn't do, now learn why" year, as next year I'll be buying several troughs (I'm in an apartment) and lining my deck with them.

I want parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, and basil for herbs; peppers, tomatoes, onions, and corn, leaf lettuce, peas or beans of some sort, and- maybe- squash, pumpkins, or potatoes.

In troughs. On an apartment deck.

Hey, but it's a long deck. I just can't afford produce anymore, and I can't afford to throw out what I can't or don't use. This way, I can sell or give away the extra, and all it costs me is some time and care.

And the rewards are definitely worth it- I just love fresh garden vegetables!
