Whether you've got a significant amount of earth to till, or a full-shade back porch like me, everyone can appreciate this fun little toy! Simply drop your crops of choice into the grid and see how they grow from March to October.

This weekend, I'll be starting the tomato seeds I saved from some luscious Vermont heirlooms I slurped on last summer, as well as organic cherry tomatoes and summer squash. My city apartment is great for sprouting seeds, just not growing successful vegetable plants, so I'll be looking for good homes for my elfin veggie sprouts soon!

His methods for taking "know your food" to a whole new level are changing the way people think about how they eat... And that makes us love him even more.In today's New York Times Food section: Looking Dinner In The Eye

Pollan: “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."
This is how the introduction to Michael Pollan’s “In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto” begins:
“Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. That, more or less, is the short answer to the supposedly incredibly complicated and confusing question of what we humans should eat in order to be maximally healthy.”
Of course, he goes into exquisite detail about what constitutes real food, versus what Americans find on many grocery shelves today. And, of course, we couldn’t agree more: Eat food. Know where your food comes from and how it is grown.

Hank Hill Goes HOMEGROWN, works at the Co-op
King of The Hill has really outdone themselves with their "Raise The Steaks" episode. Hank becomes a passionate food consumer once he discovers organic meats. He and Bobby visit a family farm and see how real food is grown (Bobby: "How do you know when a cow is ripe? Do you squeeze it?). Hank even works to save the now profitable local Corn-uCo-oPia from the destructive hands of Mega-Lo- Mart (Hank: "Co-op, huh? All those Vee Dubyas in the parking lot, I just assumed it was a Unitarian church").
