The joys of container gardening are not to be overlooked. On my tiny balcony, I’ve got a healthy dose of nature. And most of it is edible: mint, rosemary, sage, basil, marjoram, thyme, parsely, bay. What’s not edible is flowering: daisy, lavender, marigold, impatiens, pinks, petunia.
It gets my attention every day. I water it, pluck dead blossoms and harvest herbs for dinner. It pays me back by bringing a smile to my face when I brush my hands across the scented plants.
