Organic Vegetable Gardening

Posted by Trevy Thomas Feb 29, 2008

Sometimes I wish I had been born in a different era. While there are many different reasons to wonder what life would have been like in another time, the thing most appealing to me is to be able to buy food that hasn't been sprayed with chemicals or injected with hormones. I imagine my grandmother had this luxury, and I suspect the time will come, probably after I'm gone, where food is once again safe. Meanwhile, I believe our best bet is to choose organic foods. I've noticed that some people cringe when you say "organic" as though it's some newfangled, silly fad. But the word simply implies genuine, real, unadulurated. That is how I want my food. Unfortunately, today we have to pay extra to keep additives out, or grow our own food. I wasn't born with a green thumb, but every year I try a little. Learning to battle pests without pesticides and to keep a garden from being deer food without resorting to poison is going to require a little expert advice. Enjoy the rewards that come from healthy gardening and eating.
