Here is a picture of our pre-Superbowl lunchtime meal. Ultimately, I should be able to grow everything in the picture (sans the mushrooms) in my own backyard garden. The bib lettuce in the photo was harvested literally a minute or two before we ate it. Talk about fresh!
There's a certain satisfaction that accompanies growing your own lunch. Even though it was only lettuce today, the time is coming when I'll be able to harvest the rest in my urban setting.
I've got bell peppers, poblano peppers, red bell peppers, and jalapeno peppers growing on my backporch and carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli, growing in my above ground gardening beds. Soon I'll be growing Asian varieties of eggplant from suspended planters to take advantage of the small foot print vertical growing provides.
