There’s nothing better to me then spending an afternoon tending my backyard garden.  It grounds me to the cycle of the seasons, makes me aware of who else is dining in my yard (the swallowtail butterflies visiting the compost pile), and keeps me connected to the intense labor that it takes to bring my food from the farm to the table (thank you to my CSA farmers: Tracie, Amanda, Sarah, Jenny & Bruce!).

Why do you grow your own food?
