So exciting! and I have many seeded babies sprouting and doing their thing at the moment, too! : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) It makes me so HAPPY! : ) : ) : ) : )

Sending You Peace, Love and Daffodils!!!! : )

@feelgoodnation Thanks, Angie! It makes me so HAPPY too and hopeful. I LOOOOOOVE oak trees. May your babies grow up healthy and strong. Speaking of happy, you bring joy - thanks for sharing your good vibes with me - these Daffodils are lovely and brighten my spirits!!!!

We have some kind of wild peas that grow along our fence. The leaves and flowers look just like this, but I've never noticed if they had edible peas. Maybe I should pay attention this year. I might try some container gardening inside. I'm just not motivated enough to dig and mess with growing things outside.

@deidzoeb Hi, I'm glad you came over to see my peas. I found out that a lot of those wild peas are toxic, unfortunately. I think growing an herb in a sunny window (east or west facing) is a good way to watch something grow and getting to eat it right off the plant is such a pleasure - especially to pick it and use it in your cooking right off the plant.

@debswildhoney Oh, that reminds me, my mom gave me a "Chia Herb Garden" for Xmas. I could put those in the kitchen window and cross my fingers that the cats won't eat them. I know they jump on the counter, but I don't think they're adventurous enough to try getting over the kitchen sink. It's a north facing window, but most of our other windows are ones the cats sit in. Or maybe if the pots are small, I could keep cats out by shutting the pots between the main window and storm window.

@deidzoeb I think the Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia! is a great idea - it's gardening with a sense of humor. I guess growing catnip is out of the question? ;O)

@deidzoeb Thank you! I am going to see if i can find that book. Last night I had a dream about growing corn in my living room. It took up the whole space!

@koreamy I just read a pretty cool book called "Urban Homestead" by Kelly Coyne and Erik Knutzen. They give lots of tips for gardening in very small lots, or containers on your balcony or inside. You might not be able to grow 100% of your food indoors, but any amount more than zero % is a good thing.

@koreamy You can do it in the city - I'm glad you're looking into it. There's a video I want to show you but I need a little time to find it. A skylight is a great place to grow a veggie. Thanks for coming by to see my peas.
