Growing Vegitables

I like to grow various vegitables in containers on my deck.  I have a cherry tomato plant, mint, chives and as an experiment an acorn squash plant.  It should be interesting to see if I get any squash.  The squash plant is beginning to take over most of the deck as it is vining out.  I have a small garden in my back yard with mostly tomatoes for canning.  I also grow catnip which I dry and mix with sawdust and put the mix in small cloth bags for my cats to play with.
