I just had to share this you-tube information on our food. I know we have discussed this area before, but we need to know and be able to protect ourselves. All the more reason to have that victory garden.
It has just been brought to my attention by a reader that the previous link I added did not work. I have looked into this problem so try this link

if this will not work for you go to you tube and type in TEDxAustin Robyn O'Brien 2011
My herbs are growing lovely inside as I brought them from my previous garden residence. We are staking out the lawn as to where the garden will be and where the herb garden will be.
The planning of the garden is so exciting. I have looked at the history of gardening and found a Jane Austin garden lovely. A kitchen garden close to the house and flowers and herbs near also. This would be lovely as I love to talk to plants and having them near the kitchen door would be like little friends.
The Amish gardens here are planted with peas, onions and any early plants. The chicken fence is strung awaiting the vines to climb, and the upside down plastic milk jugs to cover the young plants are peeping out of the deep rich earth. I am ashamed to be so far behind.
Well if you get to pop over to my friend Donna's blog, http://my50syear.blogspot.com/ she often comments on her garden. If you have not seen her blog you will want to check it out from the beginning starting 2008.
I am still yearning for my chickens, but do not know if I can get away with it here. I will check the zone rules as I have more than enough yard space. It would be lovely to have them in the center of my garden.
Well have a lovely week and get out and dig the earth. Be connected even if it is in a plant pot. Make it your own!
