Over at Pragerblog, which I'm going to rename soon into something that reflects the topic matter better, I posted about the small veggie plot we started at our house. On the level of personal sustainability actions, growing one's own food is about as self-sustaining as one can get, on a par with sewing clothing or building shelter. 

I probably would have put the whole post over here as well, rather than using a link, but there are a half dozen photos or so, and Wordpress handles photos much easier than Drupal's. (If you have knowledge of a good Drupal photo module, please be in touch.)
