I am excited to be on the verge of fresh local produce. Trying to eat local in New York is very difficult in the winter.
This is my second year to attempt a garden. What you see here is my pepper plant. They take soooo long to germinate that you must start them early. 18 weeks is what my seed packet said. I didn't get any peppers last year.
I have a small raised garden. It is one way to make the trip shorter from food source to table. Gardens are alot of work though and I rely on my farmer's market and local farmers' road side stands more than on my little garden. There is a certain pride, however, when you can say you grew what you are eating. Plus my sons get a kick out of it too.
