you need to go out for an evening jog - that'll both give you fresh air and wear you out!

Physically, I was all worn out when I got to bed - I walk to and from work and I did "The Great Weekend ScrubOut" yesterday because the bf didn't let me when he was here. It's the brain that can't keep quiet. I don't think I slept before 2am, and I woke up at 6:30... an hour and a half before my wake up time!

I've been looking into something like these, also known as "Earthbox". Seems a simple idea, but don't know how effective they are in terms of yield etc. Seems a little expensive, though there are numerous ideas for DIY ones.

Very easy to do, once you find a source for containers. I will get mine free from the grocery store, where, in the bakery, they receive premade muffin mixes in big, sturdy plastic containers and throw them away after use!
I even tried the method with 4L water jugs, in which I cultivate basil. It looks incredibly good and healthy, and it grows much faster than any basil I ever had, and it's not even outside!
