We have such cold nights here and garden items just arnt as successful for me like my garden in Virginia. Ive learned planters are my best friend for yummies like herbs and salad greens. This planter was a 50 cent spring mix seed packet I planted in my house just a few weeks ago. A little water – sun- and a few Aretha songs and we have Salad tonight! ( laughing there is a stray tomato growing right in the middle of the party)
