Thanks, gnu. I'm gonna try rooting some suckers.

===========
A few years ago, I bought two of those upside-down tomato planters. I never succeeded in producing tomatoes, but I didn't get rid of them because it was too much work. This year I planted snow peas (only 30 inches high, see Park Seeds) and red lettuce in them, and we have been having nice salads. Next: shrimp and snow peas.


Snow peas are aptly named. I guess you can shove snow aside, thrust a seed in the wet soil, and they will grow. I didn't actually do that, but I did plant them weeks ago, when it was really cold.

This is the second time I have grown red lettuce. The birds don't eat it. I guess they fear it's been bioengineered or something. :)
