I'd rather not knowingly poison myself, though! Growing edibles in pots, and flowers and ornamentals in the ground is a great idea, and just what I plan to do -- and I definitely agree with you that gardening is good for stress :) -Shane Hello,

Anyway, you can grow the veg in pots in the garden and devote the rest to flowers and ornamentals; in my experience no-one eats all the veg in the garden anyway - eat the stuff in pots and just watch the rest grow; it's good for stress!
