Homegrown Revolution

If you've been by our place, or seen the post about "big-ass veggies", you'll know that we have a fairly abundant garden... I am pretty sure that we produce our own oxygen, and then some.

We get quite a bit of production out of our yard... fruits, vegs, flowers, without trying especially hard. Of course, there is more that could be done; I'd like to build a greenhouse and some coldframes, for instance.

Here's a video, called Homegrown Revolution, about a family that made some radical changes, with great results. They have the advantage of living in Southern California [and the advantage of being a bit nutty, too!], but their example is inspiring. On a tenth of an acre, they manage to produce 6000 lbs. of fruits and vegetables each year!
