The Washington Post has a great article about the increase in the number of backyard gardeners in the US. Seems that seed sales have gone up dramatically as Americans plant and grow their own food. Reasons for the increase: the economy, concerns about where food comes from, concerns about food quality, and a desire to take control of our own food production. It’s a movement that’s gaining momentum everyday. Stay simple!

Yeah!
I think that increased focus on the backyard garden is great for the environment. Planting more plants reduces our carbon footprint. And staying at home (instead of travelling) reduces carbon emmissions further!
