Eating your Garden

This is not my idea.  We do not have green thumbs in our family, nor do we have much space, at all, for a garden.  On the other hand some of our neighbors who we are in community with have been going gung-ho on making gardens.  We do not live in the country, but in an urban area with little yard space.  Instead of a small lawn, our friends are opting for small gardens.  This is by no means a new idea, but as old as the good earth itself.  It seems the first family in the Bible had a garden.  Whether you grow tomatoes, garlic, onions, mint, sweet corn, pumpkins, strawberries, or coffee, maybe you should think about growing a garden.  I remember visiting a family in Nairobi who had extremely little space, little more than the space of a child's sandbox, but the still grew sukuma wiki.
