Given the very unfunny state of my garden at the moment--the plague of locusts continues unabated--I thought I would share with you a list inspired by one of my children and the fact that I'm old enough to have seen Jeff Foxworthy live in The Blue Collar Comedy Tour.
If your children sit down to a chicken dinner and ask suspiciously while glaring at the drumsticks on their plate, "Who is this?". . . You might grow your own food.
If a fifteen-minute recipe takes you seven hours . . . You might grow your own food.
If you can't start dinner without putting on your shoes and going outside . . . You might grow your own food.
If dinner preparations often leave mud in your sink . . . You might grow your own food.
If none of your vegetables have ever touched plastic . . . You might grow your own food.
If you know the names of more than one variety of beet . . . You might grow your own food.
If this photo inspires great excitement . . .
