I was on the phone with my dad and he has one, i love fresh garden vegetables and with the recent rise in food prices is this something that will return to favor? I know growing up many, many people had a garden out in the back yard.

Grow one every year. My 11 year old daughter got a champion ribbon for her 4-H entries to the county fair in the gardening category last Summer. In my opinion,the veggies you homegrow are always the best to eat.

8.5 inches in a six hour time period. Just a mess around here Buster. Three days before the flood we had a "small" tornado go through. Enough Mother Nature to last for a few years to be sure!

If your a tomato lover, I recommend Cherry 100's or Cherry 1 million (very, very sweet),excellent tomato. Also for a bigger variety I do Super Sonic VF, they are almost like those high priced Heirloom tomatoes (meaty, sweet/tangy and hardly any seeds) we see in the store. I also do Big Bertha pepper's and Cukes

Read a very interesting article about rising fuel prices and how it relates to home-farming and organic local produce. As fuel prices increase, so will food cost naturally, and they are predicting a huge increase in local organic growers supplying produce.

There are a lot of people on the cusp of going organic these days, and I think rising food prices from the major commercial growers in California will make it a huge market in the next year or two.

Nice. As a chef, heirloom tomatoes are like crack. You put them in anything and it makes you never even want to look at a regular bulk tomato again. You find crazy ways to justify their price, and they slowly find their way on to more and more dishes....f'in love them.

Here in Florida, they take your freaking house if discovered.

Better to buy retail, even at street prices.

do you think growing hydro veggies to sell is a good idea?

It very well could be. When I meet with clients as a personal chef one of the first things they often ask me is where I get my ingredients and if I source any of it locally. Some ask for organic elements or even all organic menus regardless of cost. There is a large movement lately in becoming aware of where your food comes from and supporting locally grown products.

i feel much the same way, this was a common practice when i grew up. i remember ladies would shell beans, shuck corn, can and jar different veggies and store them in the basement in mason jars.
