It seems like every time I go to the grocery store the food is more expensive than the last time, especially the produce. All the pesticides and other unmentionables that coat the fruit and veggies to make them pretty are an additional bit of disturbance that's becoming increasingly difficult to overlook.
I have been thinking about growing vegetables for a while and have done pretty well growing my own herbs. I tried growing vegetables before but my dogs love to eat them before they are ripe. My other problem is I live in a very odd growing zone, in the summer the temperature can get above 100 degrees and it sometimes snows in the winters. It would be great to grow food in my backyard that my kids could eat, not only for financial reasons but also for health.
With that said, sometimes nothing is as yummy as french fries that are actually fried and over salted from a drive thru. But one cannot live on fast food alone, at least not long term.
