We dabbled with container gardening for the first time this year (just growing some plants out of pots that are sitting on our patio table). Our broccoli, spinach, and cilantro plants were failures, but our red pepper and basil plants are doing pretty well.

We harvested a bit of our basil again today and put it on a pizza we made, and it tastes amazing. That has made all the effort worth it.

We might try expanding our gardening efforts next year, but I'm not entirely sure of that. We'll at least keep the basil going indefinitely, just bring it inside during the winter, and plant more peppers next year, but not sure if I want to graduate to making a full garden yet.
