Although I am not an avid or advanced gardener, I have had my fair share of gardens, small as they might have been. When Barbara Kingsolver spoke of how her and her family lived off of mainly their own, or locally grown food, I was amazed. From my little knowledge of gardening, I know that taking care of a garden is a hard task, although living in Texas may have made it a little more difficult. I was so shocked that Kingsolver and her family were actually able to basically live off of their land. When I had my garden with my dad, the only thing we actually were able to grow were tomatoes, and there were slim pickings of those to say the least. The basic reason that I wanted to have a garden was to have something that my dad and I could do together, not to have fresh food. Living in the day and age that we live in, I thing we forget where our food truly comes from, which I why I was so in awe that Kingsolver was able to accomplish this task.
