Last year, I got curious about the our food supply and where food comes from.   For the first time in our adult lives, my wife and took up gardening.  The video footage below was shot over the course of last summer. .

  On Earthday 2009, I am looking back at last summer and what we had do say about our motivations for doing this.  Our motivations remain unchanged and infact we are even more passionate about local food and have dedicated ourselves to learning more about it.   We are out to inspire the people we know to do the same.  One day my neighbor Tony popped his head over the fence while I was out back working and said "Hey Man!  I see you’re gettin your garden on.  Thats cool."  It made me think, that is what the experience is like.  Gardening is like getting a groove on with the earth.

 

 We invite you to "Get your Garden On"

    Hi Seamus,

    I work at CSUN and know Tracey. We actually spoke on the phone once (you, me, and Joel) about SEO. I have been following your posts at lowcarbonhome.info for some time now. Great video here. I remember the one you posted about starting a vegetable garden last year. My wife and I just started a vegetable garden in our back yard a few weeks back. A lot of green coming up out of the earth, but nothing to eat just yet. The peas are the largest so far. It was great to see in your video how large the plants get, I had no idea.

    Take care,
    Zachary Chesler

    P.S. – Tell Tracey that was a great cameo!
