Getting ready for summer

My friend Peggy suggested I read a book by Barbara Kingsolver...Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. It is about a family that set out to reevaluate what they ate and where it came from. I had some 'aha' moments. I had seen a discussion on 'Oprah' so I had already begun to wonder what extras were in the chicken we were eating. I was shocked at the additives ( specifically anitbiotics ) that the chickens are given. I haven't gone over the deep end but I am reading more labels. I am planning a small garden and have already started some seeds. I'll keep you posted on my progress.
