Yes, I know, it's a pain but some states are very strict due to infestations of crop killing bugs, blights, etc and also to prevent invasive plants from being introduced. <br /><br />Otherwise, tomatoes esp. heirloom and container sized, peppers esp small sweet ones, herbs, and greens - lettuces in both green and red, chard esp the multicolored ones. As more people are growing veggies within their landscapes they are looking for edible decoratives - at least that's what's happening according to our landscaper/mower.<br /><br />Birdhouses - decorate according to house styles like farmhouse, cottage, etc; personalized with family name; incorporated into planters; added to homemade wreaths; decorated according to seasons or holidays.Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249001827113998376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-89785315714004934332010-12-29T21:49:28.208-06:002010-12-29T21:49:28.208-06:00I agree with the D3 and a fullspectrum light will ...I agree with the D3 and a fullspectrum light will help. If you can bundle up and are out of the wind get some natural sunshine, it will help. <br />Go with the herbs. I got some really cute pots at the dollar store that fit great on a window ledge. Basil, sage and oregeno are hardy and I like chives as well. Plus seeing something green and growing always boosts my spirits.Adventures in Self Reliancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992613362743785392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-23084015311800895732010-12-29T19:09:21.594-06:002010-12-29T19:09:21.594-06:00Herbs seem to be a good seller in our area.

I usually get seasonal depression from lack of sunlight, but since take 5,000mg once daily of D3 I haven't suffered any this winter( so far anyway)<br /><br />The bird houses are cute, how about a chicken coop style, maybe with a sign( Warning, No Fox welcome) Maybe offer to personlize them with a sign with the family name or name of their farm.<br />Hope this helps you some.<br /><br />Blessings and we'll pray for sunshine for ya,<br />KelleKelle at The Never Done Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06089557752054842197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-31419672205832447102010-12-29T15:32:00.349-06:002010-12-29T15:32:00.349-06:00Sci~

I swear those dang plants are virtually indestructible, plus mine grew very easy and I didn't kill 'em, that's a plus. :D<br /><br />Now as for the weather, I love the winter, it's easier to layer to stay warm than it is to stay cool, I can't just go runnin' around in the birthday suit. ;)<br /><br />Hugs~Fel~Felinaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07997272830181104083noreply@blogger.com
