I also love the idea of victory gardens. I'm no gardener, but I could
probably grow some things in pots.

IIRC there were a couple of radio programs recently where people were
suddenly discovering how valuable a garden could be, given the current
economic times.

I have the original "black" thumb but I imagine someone with a small
garden plot could make a big dent in their food costs with a bit of
skill and dedication. Certainly a couple of books and films that I
have seen suggest this. (References available upon request .

I also have a black thumb--although I do somewhat better with
outdoor plants than I do with indoor ones.

Hey, Jill, check this out, it says you can grow squash in pots.
Well, that sounds kind of weird. (laugh) But it's an easy crop,
they say.

Most veggies can be grown in pots... container gardening is all the rage

Definitely. I just thought of a vegetable she would like and
wondered if it was suitable for container growing. I've never grown
squashes of any kind and don't know if they're too viney to
contain.
