stavy asks:grow your own?

And occasionally swipe stuff from our neighbors, as well as poach when the game warden is at lunch. Our high altitude garden gives us carrots, beets, radishes, lettuce, etc. Other grown at home interests are not freely discussed in such an open forum.

you've lost me TMF!

Your are doing well with growing /poaching your own.. My little city garden can't compete..

yes indeed Keewi.. we all have a little bit of 'pioneer' inside us struggling to get out.

Unfortunately, we really don't grow much of our own at all any more, mostly because of location. :(

Kitten.. I would like to grow more, but don't have the room :(

parsley in small pots... pretty easy thing.

very eay as you say keewi.. and everyone can have a pot of parsely, basil, chives, coriander etc...

I'm ashamed to say that we grow none of our own food. We live in the country and I should try to grow a garden, though. It would be so much cheaper.

to start Chris.. why not start with some herbs? Simple things like Parsely, Mint etc... once you see results it will encourage you to go further. If you have room to grow then why not start now?

I just had my first taste of stuffed grape leaves at a Greek restaurant, stavy, they were some kind of delicious.
We grow concord grapes on an arbor, and if concord grape leaves can be used in stuffing, I'll be about asking you for a recipe.

concord grapes are, but i am sure they would be suitable... :) bigger leaved varieties are better..

I personally quite enjoy having a garden of my own growing waht I like and even giving something away to friends...A habit I got from my grandmom...she still patiently saves seeds of beans, okras, brinjals etc. she grows every year for sowing for the next year...it is quite a sight to see her laboriously tending her garden and I do get inspired a lot...
