Well, as a nation we’ve become addicted to cheap imported food, with not much thought as to the where it’s from or how it’s grown. maybe this is changing.
My nearest food share farm is over 75 miles away.We have a sort of roving farmers market, in different places in the city on different days. It makes sense to try and grow something, at least seasonally. I have the occasional farmer aka neighborhood gardener selling stuff on a corner near here, but I much rather like growing it myself.
Green beans are a hit. Cherry tomatoes, squash, okra, Japanese eggplant, basil, thyme, bell pepper, cukes. Failure at big tomatoes. Oh, and zucchini. Who can kill zucchini. I’d blink and it would mutate to the size of a baseball bat.
It is strange that we did not have these concerns thiry or even twenty years ago. Yet,with the stoke of the legislative pen, we have cut the legs out from under us based on the article.
By the way...I do the Square foot gardening.
Same output in 20% of the space.

worth a look see.
try breading the male zuchinin flower( the one that just has a stem no fruit) in egg and flour with some basil.
quick fry it in olive oil.
That was a treat from when I was a kid.
I got to do it for myself last year.
Again to prove I could do it.
It was heaven and the very taste of my ancestry.
Go for it.
