As one of my “WTF do I do now?” projects this spring, I built a small raised bed and planted 2 cherry and 2 Bush tomatoes, a couple of basil plants, a bunch of basil seeds, and a parsley plant (which I recently ripped out and threw into the ICW - I have no idea what kind of parsley it was, but the smell made me nauseous).
Lots of tomatoes growing on those I planted, and a friend gave me some heirlooms now in big pots.
