Going Green this Summer with Backyard Gardening

So I'm reading this fab book called "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle". It's another gem by Barbara Kingsolver. I'd highly recommend it. This time she's moved her family to the East and has taken it upon herself with the help of her family to grow and raise everything they need to eat with the rare exception of things like cranberries. It's wonderfully written and her daughter Camille has some lovely pieces in there as well. This young woman is going to be as good a writer as her popular mom. This book has inspired me do expand my garden this year. My friend John helped by digging out my hardy but very overgrown Rosemary Bush....now I love rosemary..but you can't exactly feed yourself with it. Now I have about 4 feet more of growing space..yeah...! So far the snaps peas are in as our 2 varieties of lettuce, carrots, and beets. I won't even think about planting tomatoes until May. I cheat...I buy larger plants..since we have such a short growing season..last year it held me in good stead. I had loads of nice, ripe tomatoes while my friends were saying theirs were still green. I'm also job hunting as many of you know...I'm really into Obesity Prevention in Kids and sharing your garden with others. There are two places you can go to to share, Urban Land Army and Urban Garden Share..google them and I'm sure they will pop up....I also wrote an article on it which you can find by clicking here http://www.ehow.com/how_4887693_green-sharing-backyard-vegetable-garden.html. Or if you can't click just paste into your web browser....Thanks guys
