Are any of you planting little organic veggie gardens to have free, healthy food available? [View All]

I wondered if during this difficult time (and since our First Lady has started the White House veggie garden) any of you decided to plant, either in your garden, or your balcony, or in an empty lot next to you. Here's an example of a balcony vegetable garden: http://gallery.me.com/istara#100048&view=mosaic&bgcolor=black&sel=84

My sister's son has begun doing something called, "Square Foot Gardening." I don't know a lot about it, but it's a new way to get more plants within a smaller area of dirt. It's perfect for a balcony, too. It's apparently very easy to do. Here's a video of Mel Bartholomew explaining square foot gardening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5Lu-7FIj_g

The veggies are yummy! The tomatoes are on the way. They're keeping it organic.

Also, somebody on here put up a post about some heirloom seeds, if any of you are interested. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=213&topic_id=5568&mesg_id=5568
