A Small Matter of Life and Death

It's green to be green and to buy local and it doesn't get any more local than your own garden. It is also politically correct, which usually turns me off. But, beyond that, in light of the recent and ongoing poison tomato/pepper scare, the previous spinach one, and the numerous ground beef recalls , it has become a matter of life and death.

Grow your own or get it from local growers - friends, neighbors, farmer's markets, co-operatives. Those of us in rural Mn do have a real advantage. Turns out that bigger isn't better, huh, just like the hippies were proclaiming back in their day. Off season will be the challenge. My new small garden of this yr will certainly be bigger next yr.

Catching, shooting and growing works for me. How about you?
