I will be able to keep the seeds from my produce to grow more next year. Not only will I get tomatoes like they used to taste when I was a kid, but saving the seeds from the tomatoes to use next year will be a great lesson in the cycle of life for my grandchild. Hooray to the Obamas for being great role models! Hooray to you for a great blog!

I also read and really enjoyed "In Defense of Food" by Pollan which seems to be a follow up book - I guess I just read them in the wrong order. It is unbelievable how much high fructose corn syrup is in our foods - I am so glad that these books and others are bringing it to light. We also make a much bigger effort to eat locally and in season, although it is tough to do during Winter in Massachusetts! I am also currently reading “The Omnivore’s Dilemma”.

I really enjoyed it. I'm very interested to know how many "beginner" home farmers save money on their vegetable garden. I never made the calculation, but I think my experience is much more like William Alexander’s, the author of the $64 Tomato. Anyway, I think that like the MasterCard Priceless ads--seeing your vegetables grow is PRICELESS. Suggesting that growing food is easy, fool proof or necessarily cost effective may lead to disappointment. I admire farmers that do it well, because I don't find it's easy at all, but well worth it nevertheless. Thanks for another interesting post! I really enjoyed it.

As you know we are not vegetarians, but we love Beans and Barley downtown. It's a great cafe' and the food is really terrific -- it's always crowded.
