If you couldn't grow it, think twice about eating it.
I've luxuriated these last couple of days in reading what I consider to be classics. It's Easter and I've read a couple of chapters of The Resilient Gardener by Carol Deppe and found meaning in most paragraphs. I've considered borrowing phrases from all of my readings but after I simply sleep on the words and let them digest, I find I can process them and come up with my own.
I only began vegetable gardening last year. Yesterday, my husband and son built another 4 x 10 raised bed, in preparation for my growing penchant for fresh, organic, know-your-source food. I'm awaiting my carefully-placed Fedco non-GMO seeds, which I consider to be a significant factor in determining a crop's worth, even more so than it being organic or heirloom. I cross-referenced Fedco's available seeds with the Cornell Cooperative Extension's guide for LI plants and ordered what I hope to be a collection of seeds that will yield my family with a substantial variety of nutrient-packed food that will grow in my south shore Long Island garden with some tending.
More posts to include my beet burgers, carrot soup, and parsnip hummus.
