It seems ironic that as little as a generation ago, my grandparents managed to feed their family of eight, either by fishing, hunting, gathering and/or subsistence farming and yet most of our highly developed age would starve if we had to eat what we could grow!

It is from them that I learned to cherish the soil, covet fresh churned butter, and dream of vine ripe tomato sandwiches on homemade wheat bread. Now with the industrial age and new technology – society has developed primarily large-scale mono-culture food production operations, and to most gardening is often only considered a hobby. But growing one’s own food could mean increased security, health, and enjoyment.
