NAIS is voluntary at this point, but the intent is to make it mandatory

Tammy, have you heard of the NAIS? This extreme regulatory process is intended to track the activities of every livestock animal in the US (including people who own a few chickens). The cost of which will put small farms out of business and reward agribusiness for their failures in food safety. HB 875 is the same process targeted specifically for produce.

The reality is that there is no proof that this level of tracking will make our food safer. And the small farmers, who have not caused any of the food based illnesses, will end up disappearing...which leaves big agribusiness as the monopoly it wants to be.

If you would like more information, I wrote a follow up post with more detailed information on my blog. http://budurl.com/es2v

herbs are great for containers! I would suggest looking for compact tomatoes. Some are bred specifically for that purpose...

Let's see...what part of Florida? Some cool season greens are quick growers and you can always harvest them young...

kale is super easy to grow and can take part shade...almost all cool season greens can. And yes, the doughnut tree is still in the works...:)

That's funny, thanks for the 10 for liking beets! I never liked canned ones as a child, either. But there is something that happens when they are roasted that makes them spectacular!
GO BEETS!

Just wanted to point out (and it may be in the above 100 comments somewhere) that this person is clearly link and keyword spamming. Can you block people from submitting to your group? I have a new group, so I don't have this problem yet...but if you can, block them.

I love the idea of bringing canning back into fashion...you all will have to help me! I also recommend buying on of those vacuum sealing machines. Our veggies never get frost bite. I think my next purchase will be a dehydrator...
