My dad used to plant a huge garden when I was a toddler, but he stopped some time when I entered grade school. I have hazy memories of walking along lettuce plants and picking beets and carrots. I've been a type-A my whole life, and I've lived in cities since I graduated from college. I always thought I was to busy to have a garden. However, I read "Animal, Vegtable, Miracle" last summer, and life hasn't been the same since! I got my household signed up for milk from a local dairy this winter(Thatchers in Milton) and just confirmed our first time ever CSA from The Food Project today. I'm reading Pollen this week. Who knows, by this spring I might just be ready to try out a backyard or roof top garden of my own. Any hints for the best veggies for the absolute novice to try? Thank you for writing.

When I say country, I mean that my front and back yards growing up were corn fields. I remember stealing pears from the tree that somehow managed to thrive in the midst of the tilled corn each year. I think you've captured something here that I find is truly missing from my life in the city - dirt, sunshine, nature, and watching/being part of the natural cycles of life. I'm going to take your advice and try to plant on my deck in the spring. Any words of advice or great resources for a novice green thumb?
