Come Saturday Morning: How Does Your Garden Grow?
It’s spring up here in the Northern Hemisphere! With spring comes rains, if we’re lucky (sometimes too much rain, if we’re not lucky), and then flowers. Even in the city we find flowers in the oddest places, such as underneath a stairwell. Even in the city, gardens and farms can grow.

Even in the city, gardens and farms can grow. More and more cities are turning to CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) groups to repurpose land that once had houses on it. For the soil polluted by industry of the past, non-feed crops like switchgrass are grown for bioremediation and to provide raw materials for biofuels, all without pulling currently arable land out of production for foodstuffs.
So go put on another pot of coffee or tea and then come back and tell me: How does your garden grow?
