Now our prairie is golden, white and the deep purple of native asters. Berries and crab apples are now brilliant red too.
And our 3 foot-square garden is on its third crop of Swiss chard (first crop the deer ate) and purple peppers.
In a garden plot, on a patio or in a pot – it’s fun to grow some of the food we eat. Plus, it reminds us to be cognizant of where out food comes from, who grows it and how much effort, water and work it takes to bring food to our table. For those of us in the U.S., much of our fruits & vegetables are harvested by undocumented workers, essentially slave labor.
