My container garden helps me to still feel connected, in a smaller way, with the earth - and will help offset my food bill too, lol.<br />I understand about the cats! I just found my cat laying in my planter of lettuce starts yesterday. Until the plants are bigger, I've covered the container with a large glass lid and am hoping it works ;)<br />Oh, and I'm technologically challenged, lol, so it took me a bit to figure out how to add a Pinterest button. Thanks so much for the tip!!Cynthia Hannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11845962123736881958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874409609086770775.post-76981874112688306532012-05-25T11:21:15.683-07:002012-05-25T11:21:15.683-07:00I love your salsa recipe yum!

When my folks moved from our family home to where they grew up, the new house had a well developed (and loved) garden already. So Dad kept on gardening and sent many tempting and delicious photos over the years.<br /><br />I have my own garden once and sure miss that. But I have been so reluctant to try an indoor garden, even for herbs because I have more than a few cats!<br /><br />I just love your salsa recipe and pinned it on Pinterest. You should make sure you add a Pinterest button to your posts so others will too! It'll expand your readership by leaps and bounds :DShannonhttp://www.livingwithfibromyalgia.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874409609086770775.post-35175949529732358282012-05-07T19:23:19.300-07:002012-05-07T19:23:19.300-07:00We will grow peas and broad beans and we can have ...We will grow peas and broad beans and we can have broc and family als o parsley and I have green onions in a jar in my kitchen.

I didn't want to admit to confusion before, lol.<br />Our last frost date in my area is May 15th, so I'm putting things out on the patio during the day only. All of my vegetable and herb starts get to be nice and cozy indoors at night...for just a little bit longer.<br />Could you (or do you) grow some herbs indoors during cold weather?Cynthia Hannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11845962123736881958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874409609086770775.post-16527806113371963662012-05-06T20:21:28.761-07:002012-05-06T20:21:28.761-07:00While you folks are just starting your spring/summ...While you folks are just starting your spring/summer gardens we sadly have had to pull our tomatoes and capsicums out following the first big frost of the approaching winter ;o(<br />I am Louise's mother...LOLPam Parkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874409609086770775.post-61110834516495149952012-05-06T08:14:56.816-07:002012-05-06T08:14:56.816-07:00Raejean, I hope you get to have that experience to...Raejean, I hope you get to have that experience too! When you're ready, you can try starting out with an herb (basil and mint are easy!) or a leafy lettuce.
