Grow Your Own…Even in Apartments: Frugal Fun Tip, June 2009

As we went down to water our veggie plants in the garden today, I was flooded with memories of the wonderful organic fresh vegetables we harvest all summer and fall.

And I was reminded, too, that you don’t need land to grow a few plants. Herbs, cherry tomatoes, mini-hot peppers, and other small plants can be easily grown on a windowsill, in a patio container, even on a rooftop.

You absolutely can’t beat the taste of just-picked produce or herbs. Plus you’re helping the earth, reducing carbon footprint, and more.

Put in your plants now, Northern Hepisphere readers, and you’ll enjoy the harvest for months. If you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, move a few plants inside so you have them in the winter.

Note: As is the case for most professional reviewers, many of the books I review on this site have been provided by the publisher or author, at no cost to me. I've also reviewed books that I bought, because they were worthy of your time. And I've also received dozens of review copies at no charge that do not get reviewed, either because they are not worthy or because they don't meet the subject criteria for this column, or simply because I haven't gotten around to them yet, since I only review one book per month. I have far more books in my office than I will ever read, and the receipt of a free book does not affect my review.
