Gardening

I would love to have a garden. But since Jeremy and I are still in a middle-floor apartment, this isn't particularly feasible. So, this is what I'm doing instead...

I finally bought a few herb plants to put on my deck. I don't have great sunlight, but I so much wanted to have some plants. I bought parsley, chives, and basil. One of my friends is going to give me some oregano and sage from her plants. Have any of you ever grown stevia? I almost bought a plant, but didn't know how difficult it was to get the sweet powder from the leaves.

Jeremy and I's church is doing a community garden for the congregation. It's their first year, so instead of giving people their own plots, it's just one giant garden that everyone is to help with. I think I'm going to try and participate. I would like to have the access to fresh, grown produce.
