You can buy an awful lot of organic produce for what we’ve spent over the last couple of years in pots, soil, water, seeds, plants, fertilizer, fungicide, cages and whatnot, often getting nothing edible in return. We are in no way saving compared to throwing away half of every package of basil and cilantro and parsley that we buy at the store, wasteful as that always seems.

So we’re trying again.

Two tomatoes, a roma and a solar fire, which is supposed to do better in the heat (developed by the University of Florida), two sweet basils, two ‘yummy’ mini bell orange peppers (their name not mine; I don’t have an opinion yet), a curly leaf parsley, and two flats of marigolds.
