I agree with you. My mother grew alot of her own vegetables when I was growing up and it spoilt me. I cannot stand the taste of shop bought tomatoes or zucchini, so when we bought our own house the first thing we did was put in a vegetable garden. It's not all that big, but in summer it gives us a great supply of fresh vegetables that have not had any chemical sprays used on them. My kids love to go down to the vegie patch and pick fresh beans and peas, not many make it to the table but you couldn't have any fresher or anything better for them. I try to buy and fruit and vegies from our farmers market rather than the big supermarkets as it tastes so much better. We have since added a couple of chickens and we sometime make our own pasta from their eggs, the colour is fantastic. I hope I am passing on a love of real food to my children so they in turn can pass it on to theirs.
