"Recession Gardens"?

An article today by the AP relates the spurt of growth in home gardening. Click HERE to read "Dollars from Dirt."

While I had a little garden in St. Louis (some tomatoes and herbs), I started a small vegetable garden last year to grow some good stuff: various types of lettuce, okra, green beans, tomatoes, carrots, peppers, and so on.

I put in three rows of different types of lettuce (Concept, Ermosa, and Black Seeded Simpson) and two rows of carrots today. I'm going to have to wait for it to get warmer for the green beans, okra, pickling cucumbers, and broccoli rabe though.
