Kind of a neat article, with photos, about local farmer Bonnie Dehn and her herb/salad/flower/houseplant operation. I recognized the Dehn name immediately as the one on the little plastic boxes of dill, mint, or basil we buy at the supermarket. I don't wish to be a farmer, but I wish I had volunteer dill growing all over my yard.
(Amber in the comments to the post below about fried eggs suggested I try growing pot greens — We attempted to have a vegetable garden exactly once, using the Square Foot Gardening method, and the only thing that I could coax out of the ground was the chard, which produced prodigiously. If I ever garden again — and I am thinking about putting a raised bed or two in my front yard — I swore the only thing I would attempt next time would be things like chard, kale, and arugula. I eat tons of the stuff anyway, it doesn't mind much neglect, and it likes Minnesota weather.)
(Don't hold it against the Square Foot Gardening method. I am just a major slacker. SFG is awesome for the small back yard.)
