Growing your own

New York Times, slowly catching on to the trends we pioneer here, has an article up about urban food gardens. Very interesting, if you can get past the “recession fill-in-the-blank” meme.

On the topic of recession gardening, though, I’ll mention a book that every impoverished gourmet should read - Lean Years, Happy Years, by Angelo Pellegrini - essentially a manifesto for downturn inspired reconnection with food sources. Get it for free from your library or buy a used copy.
