If you haven't read "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolver, get thee to the library or bookstore, 'cause it's just fabulously funny, well-written, and inspiring. I'm desperate to buy a house just so I can garden again; I'm restraining myself from rigging a window-box vegetable garden in my second-story urban apartment.

But when I do buy a house, the National Gardening Association's (http://garden.org/home) vegetable growing guide is going to be my best friend.

Local Harvest (http://www.localharvest.org/) is a marvelous site for helping one to eat locally. I'm impatient for April to get here so the farmer's markets will be bustling again.

On the advice of a friend, we've just subscribed to Door-to-Door Organics (http://www.doortodoororganics.com/), opting for the biweekly $25 (https://east.doortodoororganics.com/boxes.php#) box. While not a lot of the produce is local this time of year (except perhaps for some of the leafy greens), I'm hoping the variety will break us out of our current produce rut.
