While visiting a few of my favorite local nurseries yesterday, it was obvious that customers were buying lots of vegetable and herb plants. Flowers are still by far the most favored when sprucing up your spring garden, but I overheard quite a few customers talking about heirloom veggies. There is no doubt that growing food is back. I believe it is back to stay. Why? Sustainability. When I look at  the neighborhood I live in, I see a lot of green lawns. In Houston, it takes quite a bit of water to keep them green. Water rates here are among the highest in the nation. Yet, I was not growing anything I could actually eat. So this weekend, I set aside two large planters (that I normally would have planted flowers in) and planted tomatoes and zuchinni. Growing veggies in flower pots. Is anyone else making the switch?
