Salsa Garden

So, once upon a time, someone came up with the idea to plant a salsa garden. This was a fabulous idea, as those of us who love flavor are always running to the store to buy fresh ingredients. The best part? Tomatoes, jalapenos, cilantro and the like are easy to grow, even if you have no space at all. I don't think I am going to do a traditional garden (digging up the grass seems like an awful lot of work), but will probably invest in a few cute planters and set it all on the patio. There is plenty of sun, and this way I won't forget to water it, as I will see it all day long. I've grown cilantro before, and we buy a bunch at least once a week, so I'm excited to have fresh on hand again. Tomatoes don't really like me for some reason, though everyone else in the world seems to have piles of nice ripe tomatoes in their garden. I've never grown onions before, so this will be new. 

I'm also going to throw in some cucumber seeds, but this obviously needs more room. That will go on the side of the porch. In my opinion, it looks like a bunch of weeds anyway.
