This has turned into a really interesting conversation. I just turned 53. I grew up in the big city, so I'm a relative late-comer to this idea of growing our own food/herbs/sustainabilty much later than many others. I am finding that recently we have all become more concerned about our environment and sustainability. Although it is happening slowly, I see people become more interested in growing their own food, and becoming more aware of where their food comes from. I'm a master gardener--over the past 2 years, we've had so many people come to us for advice on starting community gardens, and growing heirloom vegetables and using herbs.
I think we are a long way from your Grandmother's era, Sharon, but we are starting to see some movement in that direction. I think people are starting to look to our past to find what works well today. That makes me happy.
Thank you all for the thought-provoking conversation.
