Each summer, I like to run a veggie garden. Just a small manually tended plot with cucumbers, beans, peppers, squash, tomatoes, etc. I love it and often have more than enough for personal use, passing on bags of surplus to grateful friends and neighbors.

(It’s always interesting how much produce you can get from a plot as small as a 1/16 acre)

I can’t recommend it enough.

The only bad part is that (generally) non-GMO, non-irradiated veggies grown without enhancers and pesticides turn south pretty fast. Sometimes faster than you can use them.

One cool thing is that the old ways seem to be growing more popular.

For instance, I saw this old card catalog (oh, the memories) repurposed into a free community seed bank while exercising my predilection to haunt library used book sales.

Good to see.
