For two years we have tried to grow vegetables in containers on our veranda. Last year we were able to grow a few tomatoes and cucumbers, but most of the other plants were eaten by bugs, or just died for no clear reason. This year we grew a few bean plants, but even the cucumbers died (it was a hot summer). But one thing we CAN grow: basil. Each year we've grown two plants without any work at all, other than watering them when there wasn't enough rain for a few days. Last week we picked enough leaves for a jar of home-made pesto. Just for a fun effect, I tried backlighting the jar with a very strong L.E.D. flashlight. It almost looks like an early Halloween picture.
