Just a quick comment- with the first guest Emily was using the word "parole" and the guest was responding using the word "probation".  Both are supervision but are different animals.  Have to tune out when at work- as an ex-p.o., I hope you have a p.o. on for insight on what the cuts will mean in the real world. Thx for a good program.

HI-We converted our front yard into a vegetable garden.  We have clay soil so we installed raised beds, which work marvelously. It is pure joy to come home from work, tired and famished  and pick dinner.  There are great cookbooks that  are organized seasonally by vegetable so it's easy and adventurous to cook the harvest. We also have old apple and plum trees, as well as raspberries, blueberries, strawberries and blackberries.  We just planted cherries and figs.  For me growing fruit is thrilling!  Vern Nelson (the  hungry gardener) of the Oregonian is quite inspiring and as a result we will be planting olives soon. We are so lucky to live in this climate, here we can garden all year long with a little advance planning.  We are  eating chard and  kale planted last fall now and broccoli soon.  And I haven't even mentioned food safety (samonella from ground pepper??) ,the virtues of organic food or the calming , meditative effect of working with plants. Thx for the great program.
