Hey, coming to #pycon? Come meet the authors of some of your favorite Python books...including yours truly! Ask questions and get autographs (BYOB: bring your own books).

It is, and incredibly inexpensive. Besides the garden space (even some indoor pots will do), you only need twine, scissors, a colinder, some sort of rack to hang the herbs on (see picture), a mortar and pestle, and a few glass bottles for storing results.

I grew herbs in my garden this past summer and fall, cut and hung them to dry in my kitchen, and then just today hand ground them with a brand new stone mortar and pestle I got at Target for only $20. My dining room smelled incredible, and now I have neat little glass bottles of super fresh herbs.

These two posts may have nothing to do with each other, but the proximity is ironic.

Brain teaser: how can you determine the weight of a kitchen scale if it's the only scale you have access to?
