Also a little better for you if you're prone to inflammation. I have a client who's on TV and gives classes about eating natural, local, etc. I brought her stuff from the garden last year and she taught me about what I was growing.

Oh! this is good to know! We don't often lose the plants, but we like the garlic, mint, and peas in the garden. I'll plant them closer to each other from now on.
