Thank you lab fairy for the ideas. I might try something and see what I can get away with. I love to garden maybe when hubby finishes college we can get a house, he has 3 semesters left. I can't wait til he is done.

I agree with starting with herbs on the windowsill. First of all they smell wonderful and second they taste wonderful in cooking. It might help your yearnings for a veggie garden.

I little on the bottom so that shouldn't be a problem. Plus it rains so much here that I don't think watering would hurt anything. I did put a small pot out for flowersa that Janice sent to me and so far there hasn't been any complaints. So I might give it a try. If they say remove it then I will just take it to my Mom's.

I would love to have fresh veggies, tomatoes from the store taste like plastic. I wish I could find a stand that had tomatoes, corn, cukes, green peppers, and good watermelon. Going to Ky next month, maybe I can find a good watermelon there. IT seems like the stands that used to be around are gone.

stitchinwitch, I'm so glad you started this!!! Many of us feel as you do.
I REFUSE to eat tomatoes unless they are in season and I buy them from farmers and we grow our own as well.
A good replacement for those awful tomatoes is fruit. My Mom used to cut up oranges and put in salads and I still do (so does she!) That was long before restaurants did it!! Lots of fruits taste great in a salad.
We only buy free-range chickens and eggs, beef. As much as we can we are going organic. Costs more but I'd rather eat better than spend the money elsewhere :)
I also pick dandelion greens in the yard- they are so nutritious !!
All my neighbors have perfect lawns but us.......... :D
