However, after that, I went out of the country for five weeks and Richard let them get a little out of hand. Which was fine, because I got a large number of seeds from them. Thanks for the tip though. ;)<br /><br />As far as urban farming and gardening goes, I agree with you. To call it urban farming, I would say you were growing enough food for subsistence. If you noticed, I only used farming in the title. I had actually meant to change the title before posting, but was distracted yesterday evening and didn't get around to it.

You'll be rewarded with a more pungent leaf.Samantha Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355672777289999722noreply@blogger.com
