GREEN! I mean, the color. Hiking in Maine this summer reminded me how inspirational all the bright colors of the land can be!

I have to agree with hdtex. FDNY has fined my building for people putting a flower pot on our fire escape.

Anyone had any success with indoor apartment veggie gardening? Any suggestions?
