We have a small garden with tomatoes, peppers (jalapenos and bells), lemon grass, basil and culantro (similar to cilantro). We make a lot of fresh salsa! We also have a small compost tumbler and we recycle our kitchen scraps to make some great compost.

Interesting about neighborhood watch asking someone to remove basil. I wonder what their rationale was for that? Why is basil any different from the numerous citrus trees I see around TV?
