I’m currently admiring the trays of lettuce seedlings in the window of my office. If all goes as planned, soon they will be joined by tomato, pepper and eggplant seedlings too. I know I’m behind schedule in getting my veggies started, but I wouldn’t have done anything yet if not for a new book titled From Seed to Table, by Janette Haase and published by Insomniac Press. I was sent a copy that arrived last Friday and by Sunday afternoon I was out on the back deck, sowing my seeds, inspired by what I’d read.
What I like about this book is the calendar approach to local eating. Haase provides a guide for every month of year so you can stay on top of local eating and growing all year round. I don’t have a garden to plant in but I’m hoping to transpose her ideas to my containers… if I could just figure out how to keep the raccoons and squirrels away…
