Whew! It's a Lot of Work to Grow Your Own Food



Tilling, weeding, fertilizing, planting, watering, keeping pesky rabbits at bay, pesky bugs, pesky diseases, heat waves, pesky mosquitos (when you go out to harvest what you've been able to grow), and the list goes on. Why try a vegetable garden then? Because it feels good to harvest something from the earth right in your own yard, tastes better too. Also one can control what goes on the plant, like no chemical insecticides, etc. Even with apartment or condo living, a cherry tomato in a pot can be fun, or some lettuce plants maybe. It's work, but rewarding!

Starting to think about Spring

We've had some record breaking cold spells, and February has been about 6 degrees colder than average everyday. However today is sunny and so I'm breaking out the catalogs!
