Container gardening with vegetables?
I’d like to grow cherry tomatoes, lettuce, pea pods, green beans, and herbs. Can you grow those types of things in window boxes…or are those too shallow? I’ve never gardened in containers before; I’d appreciate any good info. Thank you!!!

Yes.
Why not try my package of Dirty Toes?
Your package of what?
Dirty Toes.
How is that spelled?
T-H-A-T.
No, I meant the Dirty Toes.
I think it’s spelled D-O-R-I-T-O-S.
Do you want one?
No thanks. I’m not hungry now.

I hope these made your day. They made mine. 
What’s the best kind of soil for growing culinary herbs in containers?
I have mine in Miracle Grow Organic Compost, but they don’t seem to be flourishing. They are puny and VERY easily overwatered even though the containers provide drainage. I also tried growing lettuce in the same kind of soil. The seedlings sprouted, but then stopped growing all together soon afterwards. The herbs and the lettuce are getting plenty of direct sunlight, so I know that’s not the issue. What do you think?

Can I make a compost on my patio?
I live in an apartment and I’ve begun growing plants on my screened in patio. So far, I have a tomato and lettuce plant. The rest are flowers and herbs. I’d like to make a compost, but I have limited space. Is it possible? Also, my nightblooming Jasmine plant has danced with the cool air, so she’s lost her leaves. Can I revive her?
Can I grow herbs and some vegetables other than tomatoes in grow bags?
I was thinking of peas, beans, lettuce, and some herbs. Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has successfully done this.
How can I make a raised bed garden cheaply without wood working experience?
I would like to make a raised bed garden for my vegetables this year. The area I have to work with is 14′x6′ and I’d like to make a couple of boxes (both squares and rectangular) to go into that area. I plan to grow lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, herbs, and a couple misc. vegetables. I would like to do this in the most cost effective way because I’m just a cheap person, but I’d also like it to look nice. I would love the beds to be made of wood, but the lumber isle of the hardware store is scary. Let alone trying to get the lumber home and heaven forbid I have to cut the wood. I think you get the idea. I see a lot of nice kits online, but once again I’m just too cheap to buy them when I think I can make something nice myself. Any ideas?

Organic and/or specialty foods sought by gourmet restaurants?
I’m thinking of starting a side business on some land I own. I was thinking about growing organic or specialty type foods there, for sale to gourmet restaurants. I’m looking for suggestions or ideas of what might be good. Things I was thinking of are herbs like basil, rosemary, etc. Possibly greens such as Romaine lettuce or escarole or things like that. Everything grown there would be done so organically.
I am also considering the possibility of making specialty cheeses or raising small livestock, such as chickens, turkeys, ducks, etc.
The climate is temperate year round and is located within 1 hour of a city of 7 million people, so access to a suitable market is readily available.
Thanks for the suggestions.

If everyone grew at least a few veges in their garden, would it make a difference to the environment?
I grow all of my own herbs and leafy green (spinach, lettuce, bok choi, rocket, silverbeet) – i find them easy to grow, easy to pick what I need, and that store bought greens don’t last long in the fridge.
Apart from the convenience to me – does this help the environment?
My back yard is inner city – measures 5m x 5m.
