Peas ‘n dirt carrots and growing your own flavors of joy.

The Magic of Gardening and the Surprises it Brings

“These are dirty!” A child holding a fresh apple, pointing at a cluster of carrots at the farmer’s market.

“Those are carrots from a real garden, honey. Carrots grow in dirt.” Mom. Inspecting the tomatoes that are shaded under the farmer’s stand tent.

“Dirt? I don’t want to eat dirt. Don’t get dirt carrots.” Her child. Innocent of the story of food.
