First Consult

Sunday I had my first consult with my friend Danielle about growing vegetables.  After sitting down and talking for awhile about everything she was interested in we decided to start small.  Danielle is in a bit of limbo with her house.  They are deciding whether or not to rent out their house and move to some bigger land.  She'd like to start growing vegetables but doesn't want to go to all the work to leave it right in the middle of the season.  We decided it was best to do some container gardening so she could take them with her.  We chose some veggies and herbs for her to grow that would be easy and that she enjoyed eating.  This garden is for her.  We decided tomatoes, basil, chives and cilantro would be good.  We may decide to grow a pepper as well.  We looked around her house and discovered she had some pots that could be used.  We may need to purchase a few more.  We will both keep an eye out for good sales and deals.  To save some money I have already started many of these herbs and lots of tomatoes so I can supply her with the starts.  We will meet again in the beginning of May to pot up her edible garden.  We may decide later to add some cut flowers to her mix but we want to take it slow so she is not overwhelmed but most important that she is successful.
