This week's radio guest, Urban Farmer Greg Peterson, opened my eyes to how similar the processes of growing a healthy garden and growing a healthy body can be!
If you're intrested in learning more about sustainable living, gardening for beginners, even raising tilapia--yes--tilapia--on your patio--you won't want to miss this interview!

As for me, I'm passing on the tilapia for now…but I am going to try planting my tomatoes at a different time of year to see if my thumb is greener than I've been thinking.
Greg's website is http://www.urbanfarm.org/, and it's packed with great resources including one I am always asked about, a"which fruits and vegetables are in season?" chart.
Here are Greg's titles from amazon.com, which I promised I would post for anyone who would like more reading.
Thanks Greg! I'll think of you every time I make fresh bruschetta from my own patio from now on!
