We could revitalize the old Victory Gardens of WWII, if we weren't so lazy. No need to go to the spa if you're bending and planting, weeding, and picking your own veggies. And you can grow amazing amounts in tubs on the patio, if you have no garden space. You probably wouldn't have to take Ambien to make you sleep after a couple of hours out in the sunshine, either. It always works for me. And they do taste so much better you wouldn't believe it.

You're so right! We have plenty of garden space here, but we've also lived in apartments--you can use all manner of things for planters, including the expensive cement planters--but really, plastic buckets, etc., do just fine. I really hate store-bought veggies, especially the tomatoes and peppers.

Seems that most people these days haven't even heard that term. I was lucky to live near my great grandmother who grew most her own veggies till her death at 96 years old. In fact I've got her tiller that must be from the 40s.

Hmmm, that's a good idea. I was going to put in a garden (tomatoes and chili-peppers) this year, but I couldn't quite work it in.

Earth boxes produce enormous quantities of veggies in very limited space...my bell pepper plants were six feet tall last year, and produced many fat yellow and red bells...mmm-good!
