I live in an apartment building and so i don't have much space but i am currently growing tmatoes,corn,radisihes,bell peppers,onions,and a varity of cooking spices on my balcony.Its alot of fun to see the food you eat grow from the seeds you planted.I love it.As for you big meat eaters out there I have yet to devise a way to keep cattle on my balcony but I'm working on it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the storms that destroyed many of the crops in the midwest (corn and soy beans in particular) prices could continue to rise. thats God that s believers we serve a God who is greater than our circumstances I've noticed that so much of what was destroyed were corn crops....maybe God's way of saying 'Hey fools, corn is food, not fuel'?
