"Seven Foods Experts Won't Eat"

I was passed an interesting article that I wanted to share- some of the things I knew, some I didn't... it surely gave me a great reason to continue to can my own tomatoes!!

The title doesn't make much sense to me.... "Seven Foods so Unsafe Even Farmers Won't Eat Them"?? Seems like farmers would be the first ones to avoid stuff like this, not the last... maybe they should have dropped the "Even"?

I learned all about #2 (corn fed beef) from watching the AWESOME movie Food Inc. - If you haven't seen it, you should check it out.

See the article from Planet Green here.

Winter Farming... Sort Of.

So we haven't had much of a garden since the end of the Fall, it was so rainy at the end of last year we never got a chance to put in cold weather crops.

I must admit that some of us have still been farming though - just virtually, on "Farmville." I was definitely a skeptic at first, teasing my friends about it, but when I finally started playing around with it found it to be pretty fun. Nothing like real farming, but a fun diversion.

Seed catalogs are starting to show up in the mailbox, so hopefully I will be back to digging in the REAL dirt again soon! :)
