Do you have a vegetable garden at home? I often fantasize about living in a place where I can have a large garden. In this fantasy I also have time to work in said garden, of course! For now, though, I have a single raised bed in my suburban backyard.
My garden is more of a hobby than a functional food source at the moment. Eventually I'd like to plant with the seasons and make it more useful for us. A few years ago I read Barbara Kingsolver's book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life and was really inspired. If you haven't read the book but are interested in learning more about the idea of eating close to home, growing your own food, or become a "locavore", I highly recommend the book. It is more of a memoir than a "how to" and I found it really interesting and inspirational!
