Getting your player ready...
We invest in sturdy pruning shears that cost more than gas grills. We raise bees not for honey, but for garden pollination. We grow comfrey just so we can turn it into “compost tea.” All of this is fine, but we need to lighten up, if only for an hour. Let’s go to the Tattered Cover and listen to author Manny Howard read from his new book, “My Empire of Dirt,” a chronicle of his month-long attempt to eat things grown only in his garden. In Brooklyn. It’s supposed to be very funny, and after all of these weeks of kneeling in dirt and fussing over our leafy things in the ground, funny is good.
