Awesome Garden you have going there! I wish I could garden, but 1) people steal things in this neighborhood like you would NOT believe, and 2) I have a black thumb. I killed a cactus. LOL! SO I have to live dangerously through everyone's photos!

Everyone has the potential to grow. A cactus isn't a veggie. A big mistake people make is take a piece of ground, push some seeds in doing no research whatsoever, and expecting it to grow. It is recommended to start using easier vegetables such as spinach, peas, beans, beetroot, spring onion, carrot, etc.

Maybe you can plant some indoor herbs/vegetables? Idk if it's possible though.

I'm tempted to grow some nasturtiums and offer them to the birds. If I have a balcony when I move, I might try planting some veggies :) Heirloom tomatoes sound good!

Tomatoes are a bit harder as far as I know due to them being suspectable to pests an disease, otherwise they're not too hard.
