Two acre of eden or the vacant lot next door.

It is interesting how things run in cycles. I have lived though a "back to the land movement" also in the 1970s. The one difference I have notice this time is that back to the land seems to be back to any land. Whether it be a two acre plot just outside of town, a vacant lot, or a rooftop. This movement seems to be more about substance then profit. People seem to be tried of "just add water" food. I want food that tastes good. I don't care about plants bred to be easy to grow and have a long shelve life. I wouldn't want to completely eliminate our food system. It is nice to be able to purchase green beans when you crop fails. But the trend seems to be if it is vacant they will plant.
