[quote:Only Me:MV80NzU3Njc1Xzg3MDkyNjE3XzFFM0UzQjgy] [quote:NotStarvingActress:MV80NzU3Njc1Xzg3MDkyNDcwX0Q1ODREREM5] 6 weeks in to my very 1st garden. Finally have my own patio/balcony that gets am sun. Have over 2 dozen veggies & herbs growing in plastic pots. Vegas soil sucks so bought miracle grow. Only one in a huge condo complex with a garden. Within a month was eating daily kale salads. Homegrown kale is much milder tasting than even iceberg lettuce. Has a very different texture too. Beefsteak tomato plants are now several feet high from tiny cuttings. See baby green cherry tomatoes too. Yellow squash has the most beautiful flowers. Mint, anise, oregano are delicious. Didn't know gardening was so easy. Each plant and I get daily doses of sun, as I rotate them to sunnier spots and add water. [/quote] It's nice to just go grab a few leaves and have lunch! Hopefully you inspire some neighbors to start a small patio garden :) [/quote]

Let's take a deep breath and relax by the plants, you guys. Seriously - this world has gone to absolute shit and I went and sat outside barefoot in my little (beginner's) garden, and I literally FELT my blood pressure go down...I felt my body relax.
So this is my first actual garden. I've grown things here and there, but this is the first time I actually sat down and planned out an actual garden. I saw my first potato sprouts yesterday and squealed with delight. I grew that!
There are few things as exciting as watching veggies grow that you put there yourself.
Oh. my. goodness....why didn't I start doing this earlier???
