My grandmother, who turned 102 earlier this year, remembers when “organic” wasn’t even a word used when talking about food. All food was natural in that it wasn’t coated with hundreds of toxic pesticides, fungicides, and any other cide you can think of. But back to the “organic” issue at hand. And we all know we don’t need more crap.

More and more people like myself are returning to the joy of growing vegetables, herbs and even eggs right in their own backyards. Fifty years ago, this was the norm; almost every backyard had a veggie patch that supplemented the food bought at a store.
