Ran across this wonderful quote this morning from one of my favorite writers, Michael Pollan.
It answers the question I'm asked frequently, why spend the time/energy/etc. planting a garden?
"Measured against the Problem We Face, planting a garden sounds pretty benign, I know, but in fact it's one of the most powerful things an individual can do--to reduce your carbon footprint, sure, but more important, to reduce your sense of dependence and dividedness: to change the cheap-energy mind."
And I ask, why NOT plant a garden?
dig it!

Bobbi,

Hi Debbie,
Yes, they are in this post...scroll down. Looks sort of weedy, but you'll get the idea. BTW, I added a whole line of them in front of the back fence yesterday. They are only 24" wide so I can reach back. With only five pickets, I added almost 100 sq. ft. of garden space.
