That's a super cool idea. I love it. You definitely need to share what seeds you've currently got.

I'm going to post this forum link in the widget under Forums on the main page. Hopefully it'll get some additional attention.

Going by the contents of your refrigerator, I doubt if you have been shopping in a while. But just by chance, do you know what the a charging for a 500 ml can of Canadian maple syrup (No. 1 Med) in Fort McMurray?

Garden is doin really well...I have everything from Heirloom Tomatoes to Watermelons growing right now. Just shook them all up with a bit of Cow Sh@t.

I just started using the greens in the restaurant....just for VIP or Chef Tables. Kinda neat figuring out what will grow up here. Monday I am going to do a bit more planting ...just things that will grow fast. 

I have a mini version at home on the deck as well...Dill, Thyme, Flat Leaf, Cilantro, Summer Savory, Lemon Basil and a few kinds of greeens...Just things I always need from the grocer.
