We’re renting it, but the landlord doesn’t seem to care what we do with the yard. I’m already planning on about 1/3 of it, at least, being a veggie garden. The rest I’m going to plant in native wildflowers and prairie grasses.

No Bermuda or St. Augustine for me!

My mom let me take over our family veggie garden when I was 12, and I kept going until I moved out for college and living in apartments. Ever since I’ve been relying on CSA’s or farmers markets, but it’s just not the same as growing it myself. It makes me feel so much more connected to Nature and the seasons when I do.

I also grew up an urban (or suburban) life with vacations at my grandparents farm. My parents both grew up on farms and have it in their blood and I guess I do too. Wish we could preserve the family farm and save it from encroaching agribusiness . . . like we happen to be writing about on lipstickdaily!

If I wasn’t worried about my ability to pack jars to get to you, I’d send you some of my extras—they were my Grandma’s–if you paid shipping, but I would be afraid my packing ability would not let the jars survive the trip from Ohio to Argentina!

As I understand, Argentina is a beautiful place–I hope you enjoy your new home!
