I'm all pro do-it-yourself, going green(-er) and ja, not anti-hippie too. Well, I'm not growing my own marijuana but I do grow my own herbs on the balcony. Parsley, chives and basil.
In garden, one floor down, there's more herbs and eatable stuff though. 3 diff. varieties of thyme, St Johns' wort, more chives, Japanese wineberries, blackberries, 3 tomato plants (pic later, I reckon), a fig and plum tree and some not really going well strawberry plants as well.
Wish I could be a small farmer (when I'm grown up).. (with a greenhouse).
