Fresh herbs do seem to be a good option for those living in small places. They take little space to grow and can be used to produce improve a decent amount of food.

check out tomatocasual.com for their "upside-down" tomato growing method... strange but it seems to work and doesn't take a lot of space.  Just hang buckets from a cable or hooks... and the tomatoes grow out from the bottom.

I live in an apartment with a deck and attempted to grow tomatoes, zucchini and lettuce, as well as a variety of herbs and besides one lone tomato, couldn't eat any of it as squirrels got to them first.  Netting didn't help.  Neither did home remedies like human hair, cayenne pepper, magnolias, etc.  Any brilliant solutions?
