We recently bought the newly-released book, Watch Me Grow: A Down-to-Earth Look at Growing Food in the City, by Deborah Hodge. It gives a nice overview of the different spots for city gardening and the benefits of sharing land and harvests.
Inspired, we set out to the hardware store to purchase some seeds.
And then planted them in little pots for our deck and windowsill. I don't have much faith in how well these little crops will do, but it's fun trying!
