This must be close to the first produce of the season grown in the local Community Garden (my plot). I recently heard a new term
Locavor. The
environmental movement says that
embracing this
concept is more important that eating Organic foods. To be a
locavor is to eat food grown locally which
in turn sustains our local farm economy and doesn't
waste energy moving food from place to place. Sounds like a good idea to me. Go plant a vegetable garden!

It still amazes me how long it is taking us to embrace the original / old fashioned way of doing things!
I just saw a bit of a program on PBS - they were touring a botanical garden in Michigan and part of the garden was the original farmhouse - vegetable garden and all. It hadn't occured to me until the curator/docent said it in the interview - but "This was the last era in which families sustained themselves."
WOW!!!
Now look how reliant we are on Brazil for freaking strawberries!
