I think gardening is like therapy...it certainly makes me feel grounded after a day in the office.

I absolutely agree. Home made broth on a cold day is one of the best things about winter.

An interesting look back at a time when people were more self-sufficient - and healthy. Something to bear in mind in these days of junk food and obesity. Steve

My tip- plant like crazy Feb-Apr. Water like crazy Apr to Aug. Eat like crazy from April to December. Nothing more satisfying!
