Guess what I'm doing?  That's right!  I'm trying my hand at gardening.  Call me crazy since I don't like to get dirty or hot.  I've been reading about container gardening in Grow Great Grub: Organic Food from Small Spaces and was inspired.  So far I have pepper, mint, chives, sage, rosemary, and basil growing in containers.  As I type, my FIL is outside tilling up a bit of earth for me to grow some purple hull peas, lima beans, squash, zucchini, and tomatoes.  I hope it works out and something besides weeds will grow.

Now if only I had enough nerve to try composting ...

Awesome Amy...Let me know how it works out. I have been thinking about a starting a garden myself lately but since I kill every living plant I own, I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't...LOL
