We have a big vegetable garden here in N.CA. and justify some water usage with the fact that
we'll be eating vegetables grown in California anyway...they might as well be ones from our garden.
We're lucky that we live in a small, fertile valley - and one to which many disillusioned city kids are
flocking with dreams of having small farms, and a healthier life style. Gardening ideas abound. Our local public radio station also
has a show devoted totally to gardening. In the summer, at least half of our food comes from our own garden.
I've posted pictures of the irises I'm growing on my Facebook page - so many friends have never seen the
modern irises and want to grow some. Maybe there will be enough folks to start an iris society!
Thanks for the iris photos, Greg!
