Do you have an interest in or are you taking action on growing your own...herbs, fruits or veggies this year?

I have started my little green house (actually it is our dining room) containing a collection of cilantro, tomato, strawberries, peppers, cucumber & lettuce. I'll be planting asparagus soon as well.

Thus far, I've really underestimated the area I will need to bring these guys full term. I mean, those tiny little seeds seemed so amazingly small, certainly they are not going to create a plant that needs its own zip code. So we may have a patio/jungle this year, but I consider it an education and fun project for our family as well as an investment in our future. I'll update as we progress and would love to hear about what you are doing, growing, creating as well.

Until next time...:-D

Kim,
that's fabulous! As an herbalist, I grow a lot of my own herbs. When I started growing them, I put a few things where I wish I hadn't and didn't plant some in the correct areas for sun/shade exposure. It was a wonderful learning expierence.
That asparagus will spread... make sure you put it where you really want it!
Thanks for the advice on the asparagus Sherree. I am planting everything in self watering containers this year and plan to take everything with us when we purchase more land in about 18 months. I really want to educate myself about herbs in general and eventually would love to create various tinctures for fun.

It is a rather magical experience. One that I have taken for granted my entire life. What a miracle it is that these various healing herbs, fruits and veggies just pop right out of the earth and produce this amazing bounty for us. Fun stuff!
