Grow Your Own!

Whether due to the slow economy or just a desire for fresh, tasty food, many of us are deciding to try our hand at growing our own. Many vegetables and herbs can be grown in our area, though some are easier than others. 

If you have the room, watermelons are among the simplest of summer vegetables to grow. Easy herbs and vegetables for smaller spaces or containers include peppers, basil, chives and zucchini.
