yard, it was a little patch of leafy greens and some tomatoes on the fence. if it was a big yard, the bottom half was pumpkins, fruit trees, and climbers like beans, peas, and cucumbers. maybe even a few chickens.
these days, life is busier. supermarkets are everywhere and farmers markets bring the country to the suburbs every weekend. but much has been lost in our move away from home grown produce and a more hectic pace makes it all the more satisfying to pick some fresh vegetables out of your own garden for dinner.
a good starting point is to dig a little kitchen garden with herbs, lettuce, rocket, and spinach.
