Excellent.
I have my potato barrels set up (minus the seeds as of yet) and a patch on the front for more of them. I also have five pots of basil upstairs which are coming on quite well - at last!
I grow a small veggie garden on one of our decks -- necessary for light, because we live in the woods, and to keep the bunnies and deer from eating everything to the ground. Each plan in in a large pot. I line the bottom of the pots with stones for good aeration, then I combine peat moss, top soil and compost for the "dirt". I grow tomatoes, peppers, Swiss chard
I have a small, indoor shelf in a southerly window where I grow basil, rosemary, thyme, and oregano (year round) -- these four fresh herbs are what we cook with primarily and, if a different fresh herb is needed, then we just buy it.
I have apples, pears, raspberries, strawberries, tomatoes, potatoes, basil, thyme, mint, rosemary, oregano all kinds of nuts, weed, gooseberries, green beans, lettuce, radishes...
Great stuff!
Got the potatoes planted (after a bit of a mess up with the order) and my lovely basil is finally thriving on the window-sill upstairs. Let's just hope that snow doesn't come at the end of the month as some have said.
