They could not be serious. Or if they are, the human race is in big trouble...is this how some people actually think?<br /><br />It is SUCH an insanely good pleasure to grow one's own fruit and veggies - if it were not so, why has it suddenly sprung up around the globe in westernised countries as something which so many people are rediscovering? Here in Australia, the big movement of the moment is street planting, where the verge is replanted with veggies and fruit trees, and the whole street both looks after and uses the produce. Becoming more and more common - and it makes for a wonderfully pretty street.Glamour Dropshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12651174250292927988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-15746242960080020572012-06-13T02:54:30.491-04:002012-06-13T02:54:30.491-04:00There are always those who see bad in good.

I recall one time noticing that the potatoes were ready.They had flowered and the stalks were not scraggly. Mike immediately was summoned to the kitchen to boil a pot of water with sale. When bubbling he called out and then I dug my fingers beneath the earth and picked about a dozen small potatoes, washed them and put them in boiling water. We ate them with salt and butter and it is a meal and flavour we shall never forget.<br />Your eating habits are healthy and if you love the taste that is even better.<br /><br />Thanks for an enlightening post<br /><br />Helen xxxhelen tilstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791882664528962799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-16445828221288002532012-06-10T16:30:49.915-04:002012-06-10T16:30:49.915-04:00There is nothing new under the sun.
