Don’t I just look like The Well Fed Gardener?

I’m growing this community of gardeners because I like growing (and eating) homegrown food.

Exchanging stories and ideas with fellow gardeners is stimulating too.

I’ve been gardening since I was a little boy. Recently, (in the last 20 years), I’ve become a Certified Master Gardener in order to further feed my passion for gardening, especially growing my own food, preparing and preserving it.

I invite your articles, experiences, questions,  and participation. Please comment freely. That’s what will make our little band of friends a success. I believe for many many reasons food gardening, like the Victory Gardens of the past, are an increasingly attractive aspect of current popular trends toward a more simple, wholesome and green lifestyle.

It just doesn’t make good common sense to me that the average menu item on our dinner plate travels 1500 miles before it reaches our table. What a waste! That’s a waste of food quality, time, energy, transportation infrastructure and etc., etc., etc..
