Why I'm Getting Dirty: Farming in the urban desert is challenging, it's fun and it tastes much better than picked-green, truck-shipped, over-priced, store-bought industro-food. If you can grow in these conditions, you can grow anywhere. It's good work, healthy exercise, a great source of Vitamin D and for some reason it amazed people that you can grow your own food. It's also fun to share with my kids and grandkids. I detail my adventures in a silly blog called stealthfarmer.blogspot.com Check it out and post a comment.
