mary, mary quite contrary

a few months ago we planted our first edible garden and although not everything has survived the cold snap and multiple heavy rains, our garden is growing! it seems that our green onions are thriving and ready for harvest and soon we'll have garlic. we have a bit of lettuce, a few tomato plants trying to survive and one lone broccoli plant. it looks like we have some potatoes, too, as well as basil and chives. we'll keep you posted!

our garden is just one step in our effort to 'eat well' as outlined by the 'locavores' and the '100 mile diet'. locally produced food is better for the environment and, we believe, ourselves. and it tastes better, too. we're lucky to have some great local farms which supply us with meat and dairy products year round and now with vegetables at the organic farmer's market!

we encourage you to find local food producers in your area and support them in this age of industrialized food production!
