A great way to eat sea-
sonal food is to grow it
yourself. Now is the time
to start planning any gar-
dening you might like to do
this summer.
Food
You can get started with
gardening even on an apart-
ment patio. Container gar-
dening requires only a little
bit of space, a pot and a
bag of potting soil. A mix of
salad lettuces, tomatoes,
herbs, and sweet peppers
are all edible plants that
thrive in containers.
Tips:
The best way to have
success gardening is to
get advice from some-
one with experience.
Whether that is a friend
or a county extension
agent—you can get
great tips for you own
needs.
Don’t forget to watch for
the opening of the
farmer’s markets in the
spring time. Even if the
prices seem out of your
range it is still fun to walk
through and be inspired
by all the fresh produce.
