Darling girl and I played amateur farmers this weekend and will be tending our own little plot of ground in the coming months. Hopefully we’ll have lots of fresh corn, tomatoes, onions, and some other stuff that she’ll eat and I won’t. We’re doing it (aside from the “she wants to” argument so important to many of my activities) because it’s fun, it’s together, and it’s a whole lot cheaper than buying the stuff at the grocery store. It’s, at least partially, a way of compensating in a small way for the higher costs that we are paying for energy, for food, and for travel.

So, imagine my surprise to run across Hazel talking about their Victory Garden. Notably, they sound far better at this stuff than I am; my skill extends to how well I can follow instructions from darling girl.

If you’re interested in starting your own garden, she’s also made a generous offer that you might want to ask about.
