Apartment dwellers hardest hit?
You can grow a garden even if you live in an apartment.
The space you have available to plant in is limited. Look for a local community garden, or if you have a small balcony, try a container garden or even Square Foot Gardening.
In 1990 I visited Switzerland
I took the train from Zurich to Lucerne.
Once outside the city out in the country we came to one of the first stops.
There were hundreds of garden plots right near the station along the tracks.
I asked a local who told me that people who live in apartments in Zurich rented the garden plots so they could grow some of their own fresh vegetables.
It gave me a lot of respect for the Swiss people.
