LOL I used to sell lucky bamboo. Have you ever eaten bamboo shoots? Delicious. No wonder pandas like them.
I think you should put herbs in your kitchen window. I tried an outdoor garden in Lake Elsinore and the only thing that survived the heat and dryness was the garlic chives, and the bunnies got to those before I did. Nothing else grew
I wanted to get the countertop herb garden growing thing, but didn't want to pay $120.
