I couldn't agree more with connecting with our food again! Even though I don't have a garden yet, I want to start learning the basics, growing cycles, pests, companion planting etc. this year, so that I am well prepared when I get a bit of space around me. Excited to try potted tomatoes and peppers like you wrote :) So I think I just wanted to thank you for your lovely blog, and I look forward to reading more about your experiences. :) Many kind regards, Heidi ps. You reminded me that I recently learned that this very pretty blue flower (http://www.havenyt.dk/images/upload/hjulkrone_2547.jpg - the name I unfortunately only know in danish, but you might know it from the picture) brings out the flavor in tomatoes when planted together! It's one of my favorite flowers, and you wrote you were a flower kinda gal too ;) Much aloha Hi :) I’e just been reading about your victory garden, and i am feeling so inspired!
