I love gardeners, but I don’t grow things. Just a couple of dracaena indoors and a lovely pot of catnip for his royal highness.

Luckily I can walk to Trader Joe, purveyor of well-priced organic fruits and veggies and meats.

Daughter and her hub have full-time jobs but do grow many veggies, lately in raised beds. I met a couple recently who have a year round veggie garden in raised beds in a sort of plastic walk-through tube. But they are about 70 miles south of my daughter and she doesn’t think she can succeed with that ‘way up north. Driving up to her place, you do go through a sort of temperature barrier. Suddenly it’s 10 degrees colder.

Have Dear Daughter check out the books by Elliot Coleman. He grows for market all year ‘round. In Maine!
