Many people are starting to grow their own fruits and veggies for many reasons. Some cite economic reasons, others do it because they say it’s healthier. Whatever their motivation, growing food is becoming very popular. Just last week, the Obamas broke ground on an 1,100 square foot “White House Kitchen Garden.” If you’ve been thinking about starting a vegetable garden, Sustainable Ballard can help. Tonight they’re holding a program from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Sunset Hill Community Club to teach people the art of growing their own food. Information here.
