I started my very first vegetable garden this year, and most of the seeds have sprouted. I didn’t really expect them all to since I’m new at this, so I have a feeling I’m going to have TONS of squash, zucchini, peas, tomatoes, cucumbers and (hopefully) carrots. I’ll share.

@Sophia – a death thumb, huh, sounds serious

@Erica – you are beating me by 1 tomato plant!

@Becky – mmmm fresh herbs. heaven. can i come over for dinner?

@Sweta – thanks for the info, as always! had you heard of Joel before this movie?

@Nadia – There’s definitely a way. And I’m going to figure it out. One of these days…yes, i will!

@Vered – Now I know what my Christmas list will have on it for sure

I grew up in a house where my family had an organic garden. It was a lot of work but so well worth it. Even though I moved out a long time ago, I still help out with it and it is great to just pluck a tomato off the vine, wash it and eat it raw. It tastes so much better than the conventional version. I have read articles where people are doing organic gardening by putting plants on the windowsill and at the entrance of their of apartments. There is a way to do it.

And like the others said, I look forward to the movie.

We do grow quite a bit of our food — mostly outdoors, though through the winter we keep herbs and chard in pots on a sunporch. There’s nothing quite as satisfying as reaching out the window with a pair of scissors and leaning back in with a bunch of leaves that will utterly transform the food!
