POPSGreen (1/8th) Acres sprout in the city The return of treating our modest homesteads as sources of food is a great thing to contemplate. Food security is one of the most important issues today, for our health and for our peace of mind (as long as you choose not use pesticides). We need to celebrate our agrarian ancestry and learn the amazing amount of food that can be produced on a 1/8 acre plot. Every year I grow tomatoes, peppers, peas, green beans, carrots, cucumbers, radish, lettuce, squash, pumpkin, cherries, plums, peaches, pears, apples, and many herbs on my standard lot, all in the backyard. This year I’m building new beds to be used next year to add grapes and I’m going to extend my garden to the front yard. The health benefits, both physical as well as mental, cannot be overstated. A lot of excess goes to the local food bank and pride in doing that cannot be bought. Also, everybody, visit your local farmers market and eat locally.
