I'm envious at the gardens. I live in the city and in a townhome. My gardening is in pots. I grow herbs: parsley, oregano, chives, rosemary, mint, thyme, etc. Generally they do very well. My rosemary bush just exploded this year and attribute to the change I made to the make-up of the soil.

I did have a hard lesson this year. I tried to grow collards. I love green food and will eat any kind of green. The plant did well in May/June until it became infested with small caterpillars. I wasn't aware of the attraction and I was reluctant to spray an insecticide. I did, but I know have small white bugs feasting on the leaves. I have all but given on this plant.-
