We are both very passionate about growing\u00a0healthful food and not letting food go to waste. We produce enough food and\u00a0calories to feed everyone on the planet, but much food goes to waste, especially\u00a0in the developed world. Even though we are working on a very small scale\u00a0here in the vegetable garden, both Anna and I bring the mentality of not letting good food go to waste to what we do.\r\n\r\nWe have been brainstorming what vegetables have multiple uses: fresh, preserved, pickled. This will allow us to use as much of what the garden produces\u00a0as possible. Take cauliflower for example. It is nutty and tasty fresh,\u00a0but can also be roasted and made into soup. And you can even pickle it! Multiple uses that have a different shelf life.\r\n\r\nI\u2019m excited to be a part of something new. One of my favorite things is working in a greenhouse and watching seeds sprout and grow. Whether it is a plant\u00a0or an idea, I love watching things grow and flourish. Here we go!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marlene here, cleaning the dirt from\u00a0under my fingernails to type up a\u00a0little update on the\u00a0garden project.
