I’m starting to grow an indoor herb garden, but I also want to be able to grow certain vegetables, even though I’m in an apartment.

If it grows, I’m beyond happy!). I plant my seeds indoors in February, wait for the last frost in May (sometimes until the end of May) to plant the vegetables outside, grow everything and hope that the longer growing plants like tomatoes can finish their growth before the first frost (which isn’t always likely).

Gasoline and diesel are called “fossil fuels” because they are derived from plant and animal remains that are millions of years old. The plants used to make biofuel absorb roughly as much carbon dioxide as they release when they are burned. Some argue that deforesting land to grow crops for biofuel counteracts its ecological benefits.
