And mint. In fact, getting mint to stop growing is a bigger problem. My grandmother grew mint in her garden in a kitchen sink she buried in the ground so it wouldn’t escape.

Mint and bamboo. Garden terrors.

Bamboo is actually illegal in the city where my mom lives. She has some in a brick box along one of the borders of her house that were planted back before she bought the place and before the law, and a city inspector had to come out and make sure it was safe to grandfather them in. Which it is because the box would have to break for them to escape.

I have it hanging on the balkony in a flower tub. Great for tea in the summer.

Chives grow like weeds and whenever you need some just go out in the yard with scissors and give them a haircut. They grow back in a week or two, unless they’re under a foot or two of snow 6 months of the year. Which is where my farming desires end.

For sure. A good place to start is a “salsa garden.” Tomatoes, onions, and jalapeños (or another pepper). Super easy, tasty, and versatile.
