What happens when a professional chef turns into a gardening fanatic? Can 'homemaker' be a political statement? How self-sufficient can a family be on one-third of an acre in suburban Seattle? Where is the right balance between living cheap and living well? Can one ever have too many rutabagas? How much lawn do growing kids really need when there are fruit trees to be planted?

I love your blog, post what ever you want to call it. Just keep the tips coming i live in south central los angeles i am a single mother of 3 boys and i just decided to grow my own garden in my front yard i just purchased 4 fruit trees, herbs and getting ready to buy some raised beds . yea i said buy because i live in a very poor poor community and i work two jobs. i don,t have time to build at this moment, i already purchased my seeds and my brother has been composting for me so wish me luck and thanks for the tip on the crossing dressing apple becaue one of the trees is a apple tree , plum tree, myers lemon tree and a grafted tree with peaches, nectorines and orang i think. love the info hopfully i can produce enough food to feed my family so i won,t have to work two jobs.
