This morning I received a fun e-mail from my friend Hartley who clearly knows what I like. He sent me the link to this post: 66 Things You Can Can Grow At Home: In Containers, Without a Garden (Daily Good). Excerpt:
Growing your own food is exciting, not only because you get to see things grow from nothing into ready-to-eat fruits and veggies, but you also don’t have to worry about the pesticides they might contain, and you definitely cut down on the miles they—and you—have to travel.
As it turns out, with pretty minimal effort, anyone can be a gardener. ...
The list of things you can grow in a tiny amount of space ranges from apples to oranges to bananas to herbal tea to collard greens to beets, and so much more. Get growing. What's stopping you now?
Then you can become an artist of another sort (yes, I consider gardening a form of artistry) by carving your produce. The book The Decorative Art of Japanese Food Carving: Elegant Garnishes for All Occasions will teach you how. And here are several videos on You Tube to teach you vegetable and fruit carving.
