France has it right!

Just thought I would post an interesting article I just found online talking about the resurgence of the household garden during these difficult economic times. Gardening not only provides a relatively cheap past time, but also one with a product that decreases the grocery bill! Nothing beats a homegrown tomato, or basil!

The most staggering fact in this article is that 1/4 of all the produce consumed in France this past year was home grown!!! I bet in the States 1/4 of the population has NEVER had homegrown produce... Something to strive for.

So, This spring no matter how much space you have (1 acre of open land, or a small flower box below a window), plant a garden and enjoy creating deliciousness!

Happy growing!
