If Nothing Else...
Want a rave-worthy garden this year? Look no further for a solid review: From figuring out what to grow to keeping it alive, it's all here - and by starting your own Victory garden (private food garden), you'll cut back on food transport emissions, pesticide use, and even your grocery bill. Yep, there's lots of buzz about reviving Victory gardens - even Mrs. O and the SF Biter team are fans.
If Nothing Else, Try This...
Plant a seed, any seed. Growing just one edible, organic food - in your yard, on your porch, or even on your windowsill (herbs count) - means getting one ingredient that traveled zero gas-guzzling miles "farm" to plate. Plus, biting into a juicy, crimsony, just-plucked tomato you grew yourself? No brainer.
Stat: In 1943, a third of the vegetables Americans ate came from Victory gardens.
