on putting in a garden. I've got all of 1.5 weeks notice! WooHoo! Basically someone heard that I have a monster garden every year, therefore I should give the 1 hour presentation. It's for the women at church, a very forgiving, and knowledgable audience. Most of the women live in apartments or have very small yards, so the way I garden is probably not the best thing to teach them. Do any of you have any ideas on how to garden (as in edible stuff) indoors? or perhaps just in small containers on patios or decks? I would like to focus on that instead of the typical raised bed format that gets taught every year and doesn't apply to over half the women. What are some of the more outlandish things you've grown indoors? One of the boys in my Sunday School class last year was growing potatoes in his room. I think it was just to annoy his mother. She played along beautifully. One of the things about SoCal that I miss the most is the fresh citrus. I know my house is light and bright enough to bring in a lemon tree, at least when my daughter gets past toddlerhood. I would like to know, since we do have members in apartments, if you do grow things, what kinds of foods are worth dedicating space too, and what aren't? Thanks!
