Another dangerous progressive fantasy. They can go ahead and try just as long as they starve themselves death first.

And I’m sick as **** of all this lawn hate, too.

[Mrs. Don-o]

These gardens aren’t dangerous. Are you OK?

Unmentioned is the bedraggled stems and branches of the garden in winter. But that is a small price.

I loved growing my own tomatoes, butterbeans etc. in Chicago

Meh.
It’s just a nostalgic return to victory gardens.

Between the folks at church and the folks at the VFW I could forgo buying vegetables all summer or eggs all year long. Modern agriculture is highly productive even on a small scale.

This is why the globalists are so focused on controlling water and eliminating pesticides. It’s hard to depopulate the planet if the people are fed with local produce.

I see no downside at all to some one with a yard who wants to grow edibles in it. They cost me nothing and ask nothing of me. What’s the big objection? Of course they will not feed one tenth of the world. That’s stupid. But other than that, conservatives should love that they want to do their own thing, and leave them the hell alone.

Why the hostility? I grew up in the urban jungle and some of my fondest memories as a boy was growing tomato plants and other vegetables in my tiny postage stamp yard. How small was my yard back then? The living room that I'm typing this from is twice as big as that yard was. But it was very satisfying to bring in fresh veggies from the garden that I planted myself. I used to get those egg carton type containers and start my plants in the windowsills of the house while waiting for the last frost to transplant them outside.

I love gardens.

I love gardeners.

Best people on earth.
