i read on flickr about your container gardening. i have mint and chives (parsley died) but i have never tried lettuce or other salad greens. i have seen the kits around but was skeptical. did you find it easy and low maintenance?
ReplyDeleteI have chives, basil, cilantro, garlic chives, oregano, flat parsley, kale, 3 kinds of lettuce, edible flowers, and some more stuff. I bought small plants from the nursery rather than trying to grow from seed. I water everyday, and give them some organic plant food every other week. so easy. and they look very pretty (I planted them in attractive black glazed pots) :) do it!
