Comments for Gustoso http://gustoso.wordpress.com Can two amateaur gardeners become self-sufficient by converting their lawn to lunch in a year?

I have great pleasure in knowing what I've grown is going straight onto the plate within an hour of it being harvested. Hope you don't mind, but I have included your site to be indexed by my search engine on www.ecowho.com . Keep on growing. We too will be keeping chickens next.. Regards Keith Hi,

The Okinawans were amazing - another factor in their long lives was how the people who are very old now, learned to live on less in the hard war years and have maintained those habits into old age. However most young Okinawans move to the big cities, adopt a western diet and consequently are not expected to have healthy, long lives like their great grand parents.

There will be Hong Kong broccoli there. It is definitely an event worth attending. At the BOGI Fair, on Sunday the 4th of October at Albion Peace Hall, they will have seeds on sale.

Can be grown all year round and you eat the entire plant (except the roots). Very small flower heads but sweeter than "normal" broccoli. It does like water otherwise it will set flowers quickly as well. However the flowers are tasty too. :) Try growing Hong Kong broccoli.
