Did you know that at least 6 groups of people and a bunch of machinery touch your raw vegetables before you eat them?
I am shocked a lot more people aren't sickened by them.

One of the nice things about living in central Florida is that I'm just getting ready to plant my winter garden, which will produce all the way through until March, when I plant my summer garden.
Summer was rough this year, I didn't have much time to work in the garden, and it got burnt pretty bad.
But my winter garden will have tomatoes, cucumbers, broccoli, peppers, green beans, lettuce, onions, carrots, squash, maybe corn if I feel like fighting the caterpillars, and winding throughout will be cantaloupes and watermelons. I still have some green and red peppers producing from the summer planting, although they're looking pretty scraggly.
My garden is 16' x 28', and I am getting ready to cover it with shade cloth this season, so I'll be able to grow year round, and it supplies us with most of our veggies.
I also have a grove of bananas, which produces more bananas than we can eat.
Nobody touches my veggies but me and my wife! Gotta save money where you can!
