Grow it Eat it

Below is an excerpt from an interesting site from the University of Maryland that you may want to check out. Link to the site is posted under Gardening Links. Do you want to eat fresh organic food?; get more exercise?; reduce stress?; be more self-reliant?; have fun? We can show you how to grow your own vegetables, fruits, herbs, and salad greens. The Grow It Eat It campaign is a joint venture between The Maryland Master Gardener program and the Home and Garden Information Center - to address the growing need of Marylanders to learn how to start and maintain successful food gardens. This initiative is driven by the deep recession and the public desire for locally grown food and a connection to the soil.

Growing Greens in a Salad Table

A shallow frame filled with compost and soil less potting mix.	You can grow lettuce, arugula, Asian greens and other tasty salad greens.
Cut the greens when 6-8 inches tall. The plants will re-grow for a second harvest!	Salad boxes are great for decks, porches, and balconies!
