"Wow!  This is fun -- and something my 27-month old twins would find fascinating!  I'm going to give it a shot -- and I'll keep you posted.  Thank you for the wonderful option!"

Hanging Herb Garden - Other than some cool pics and a "how to make it" flavor, this blog seems long and boring, but that's really just me ruining an interesting premise with my rambling...

A while back, I was perusing the interwebs and ran across a beautiful picture of one of those hanging fruit basket sets that people put in their kitchens to keep fruit, onions, potatoes, etc. up off the counter, but still accessible and fresh.  Only THIS particular basket set was wonderfully lush, with ripe, vining herbs flowing out of every tiered basket.  So I became inspired and decided I wanted to do something like this at MY house.  I decided to look locally for this tiered basket as I…

Hi Ty.  Great work on Create your own edible flower garden.  We've republished the video on our Mimic This! blog -- visible to our users on Ning, Twitter and Facebook.  We also linked to your larger video collection.  Thanks for the inspiring concept of gardening.

Actually I moved recently and I am now closer to Cleavland. I live in an area of Ohio that was largely agricultural and still is, but there has been a lot of suburban development. I was really excited to find your site because I moved back home for the very reason of becoming more connected to where my goods come from. I want to produce and not merely consume.

Hi Ty,
Thanks for such a warm welcome. Ive sent your link to a couple of folks, hope they join too. A Michigan group would be great!
Next time I'll shoot with my canon camera and not the nasty cell hone. :)

Thanks for the warm welcome! Actually, the straw bale is something on saw on the internet a year ago and decided I was definitely going to try. I will definitely check out the herbal straw garden you mentioned!

A good friend told me about your site. Then last week on news 8 austin they talked about you all and soooo here we are today. I'm a memeber of and network with: (WCABA) Williamson County Area Beekkeepers Assoc. This organization has grown a lot over the past year. Our last meeting in Georgetown we had 110 memebers show up. WOW! Double from last year. Im not sure how many members there is, but I would guess 200-300+.
