As soon as a vegetable is harvested, the nutrition is lost by the minutes.  Organic produce may not be as organic as you think.  If you want a high-quality harvest, then learn to grow your own.  Here is your chance to explore that route of producing your own food. Nancy Chapman is passionate about respecting mother nature and extracting what it can provide to nourish us.  She has been spreading her message about the importance of healthy soil in order to have success in the garden.  “No matter what you are growing if you make the roots happy, the top will turn out just fine.  Combined that with planting the right plant for the right site, it’s the recipe for success.”
