I love the fact that you can go out and pick something and be eating it within minutes as well. It is very empowering to know exactly the process from seed until it hits the dinner table. Thanks for the comment Hilary,

It's some fundamental important thing in us that we don't know about until we do it. I have a little vegetable patch in my rental garden - it's the first one I've had in several years. It's lovely to be eating according to the season, to be cooking according to my garden's productivity. All my friends are saying, 'Pleeease don't try and give me any more zucchinis,' but I love still love zucchinis even after eting them every day for the last 3 weeks. And I am given to believe that eating something within 15 minutes of picking provides us with particular enzymes that our modern lifestyle fails to provide. I pick a couple of snow peas just as I sit down to eat. Mmmm . . .snow peas. I so agree with you about a connection to the seasons and stuff.

I should go out and take one of my garden and post it up though. Although the hot weather of the last few days here in Melbourne has knocked some of it around a bit.
