I always enjoy Verlyn Klinkenborg's column in the Sunday New York Times.  He writes an editorial column called The Rural Life where he reflects on his life living in the country.  They are brief but rich with experience and joy.  There is a book with the same name, containing a collection of columns, available on Amazon.

This Sunday his column is particularly appealing.  He is comparing these challenging times to the national crisis during World War II when Victory Gardens became prevalent.  That movement  helped generations of Americans become familiar with food gardening.  Let's hope this current interest in local food and food gardening will encourage all generations to enjoy the pleasures of growing your own.  Now is the time to Sow Those Seeds!
