I actually made money because I sold some of my veggies and fruit so these few years I have made over $19,000. I recommend growing your own stuff.

In relation to your post about gardening... Local food is the solution to so much more than people realize. 1) Food that travels thousands of miles to our table is vulnerable to many forces at work against it. What happens to our food supply when oil goes to $200/bbl and gas goes to $10/gallon? How much do you think that banana is going to cost, if it gets here at all, from over 1000 miles away? What about all the fruits and veggies from California? Interruption of our food supply is not a matter of if but when! The problem is compounded royally by the Federal Reserve's desire to inflate us out of a loaf of bread. 2) The recent pointless tinkering with healthcare reform should really be centered on PEAK SOIL. Our industrialized agriculture has stripped our soils of all its minerals. Commercial fertilizers that have for so long concentrated on N, P, and K that they have missed the entire boat on the other 100 trace minerals that are absolutely critical to vitality. Of course there are many reasons for obesity but what if the main reason we are all getting so fat is because our bodies keep telling us to eat more because the stuff going in has zero nutritional value? Disease thrives in acidity. Our fast food diets do nothing except provide acidity. The body has to be alkalized because the metabolic process is acidic by nature. Burning calories produces acidic waste and if all we put into our bodies is acidic in the first place well then its easy to see why disease is growing exponentially healthcare reform be damned. Wake up America. The government is not a third party, it's us.

My kids love going apple picking in the fall, and I think I'm going to check out a local farm where they can pick strawberries and raspberries too. Unfortunately we haven't much luck growing our own food. Our yard is very shady and the few tomatoes we were able to grow were gobbled up by raccoons before we got any. Great post!
