I tried the first few years to start seedlings inside a few weeks before the last frost, but it never worked. I have to actually sew the seeds right in the ground and let the earth work its magic. I'm just the facilitator.

I like being able to control what goes on the plants, too, even though I'm not always a stickler for buying organic. It does change the flavor to grow your own, but I might be biased since it's so much more tasty after you put all the work into it yourself. <br /><br />I have some day lilies and a few trees and bushes that I've grown, too, but with my ducks, I have to be careful. They're pretty hard on anything in the yard between the trampling and rooting for bugs.

There are about 60 varieties of vegetables that you can do in a pot if you're a renter or you could even do a raised garden bed if you're not planning to move anytime soon. You can build one for free pretty easily if you can find some wooden pallets.

But I do like to have some Basil growing to cook with, and cat nip is easy to grow (smells good too).
