I have a 12'x10' garden that I grow raspberries and strawberries in. I will have to work on this when I get back to OH. They are easy to grow, you know when they are ready, the bees like them, and the raspberry plants don't need very much weeding.

One tip, spend the money on a plastic or non-rusting fence. Don't try and use wood and spend hours painting it just to have it peel two years later....

I think it would be an interesting idea to have people in the 'small'* cities be able to buy 'gardens' on a farmer's field. (*small = drive 5 or 10 minutes and you are in the farm fields). 1/8th of an acre = $50/year, 1/4acre = $90/year. Ownership of an apple tree on a apple farm = $70... They get to plant what they want, they get to harvest it when the time comes, and they can get advice from the farmers who have been doing this for a while.

I've never had a papaya, but would be interested in growing a cheap indoor plant that could get 4-8' tall, it would be better if it didn't need very much sun either. Do you know which plants from the grocery store are able to be planted versus the ones that aren't able to sprout anymore?
