Can't get to your nearest farmers' market? Do you live in an area that doesn't provide locally grown vegetables? Well now it's easy to grow your own garden.

All you need is the handy dandy Internet, your credit card and not-so-green thumb. Here's how... Check out the website Potting Shed Creations. Pick your veggies and herbs. Offerings: chives, basil, thyme, dill, sage, tomatoes, strawberries (oh yum strawberries) and Garden-in-a-Pail and Mixed Herb Hanging Baskets. (You can make your house more breathable at the same time.) The price is reasonable too: about $7.50 per plant plus shipping.

When the garden-in-a-bag arrives, just mix in the leak-proof bag and add water. The seeds will germinate in a couple of weeks and you can start digging in around eight. Presto, an instant garden. And the company is very eco-friendly too! The products are sourced with eco-friendly ingredients and are minimally packaged.
