If you’ve been eyeing your yard for space to start a vegetable plot, you are not alone. A recent Garden Writers Association survey indicates that 39 percent of Americans with yards are planning to grow some of their own food this year. That’s 5 percent more than last year.
Charlie Nardozzi, senior horticulturist at the National Gardening Association in Burlington, Vt., calls this season a “perfect storm” for vegetable gardens. He says, “Concerns are rising about global warming and carbon footprints, and so are worries about the quality of food, its price and freshness — it’s all come to a head.”
