I went to Chinamart (Wal-Mart) the other day in search of our special Alaskan brand of seeds that are produced in Anchorage. I was antsy to get them at least even if I can't plant them out 'till June.
I saw these $2.50 pots that were so cute and decided to get myself 3 for my kitchen so I could grow Basil and Oregano inside this year. Basil hates Alaska as do tomatoes.
I realized I could get some for my mom and MIL for mother's day too and plant some herbs for them as well. (reason this is in my private blog and not regular) $7.50 and some dirt and time sounds like a good price to me for those gifts.
The next day onions went on sale to .50 per lb so I got a 50 lb bag as I just ran out of my last bag. It seemed the right way to display both the pots and some of the onions.

Thats a very nice photo! Love it.
Are you saying that you do not grow tomatoes????
I once grew them indoors believe it or not. Didn't have a yard at the time. Put them in a window sill and couldn't stake them so they spread like monsters.LOL! there is a spray that pollinates them you can buy, just in case you are interested:)
You have to grow them in a greenhouse and we have not sprung for one of those yet. Our friends set up a row house last year and I tried that and got about 3 cherry tomatoes from the plant they gave me. It's pretty pitiful! I buy all my tomato sauce and canned tomatoes. :p
Yes, I did grow them inside one year, but even staked they are monsters. I can't handle them taking over my dining room for the whole summer...I have a dream greenhouse planned in my head off the side of the house so I can heat it in early spring and not neglect it as I'm afraid I would because I don't like to go outside much until it starts to thaw.
