We were able to harvest a good ammount of tomatoes, carrots, radishes and peppers. We also buy produce and free range chickens from locals farmers in the area. We are fortunate to live in an area alive with real farming, yet close to the MPLS metro area. We hope to increase the size of our garden and continue to support the local farmers as well. My girls are also learning all about natural gardening through my home based business Daisy Blue Naturals.

They seemed to call at least once a week to hawk their toxic brews. We never gave them our money, thank god!

Dirt is alive. Our yards are alive. Our soil is a much better teacher than our hermetically sealed, anti-bacterial, cleanliness-is-godliness culture. Bravo Garden Rant!

But they all got wilt. I think I will have to learn about them more before I try to grow them in the future. I also bought hierloom bulbs last year and they came up beautifully this spring so I ordered more. I will keep trying! I got some great hierloom tomatoes this summer- I was so excited!

Heirloom vegetables, for example, offer qualities not available with the genetic monotony of commercially available varieties.
