We always plant herbs and I'd love to give tomatoes another try.

Also, berries!!

We rely on our CSA for a lot of other good stuff.

I'd like to recommend Barbara Kingsolver's book: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. It is a book about her family's experiment of eating only local food for a year. I though it was very interesting, inspiring and informational. It goes beyond organic and describes the benefits of eating seasonally and locally. I loved it!! Thank you again for all of the lovely give-aways!!!

eta: I see this was recommended below as well. I can't think of another one to recommend that I like as well as this, especially because I don't read very much anymore, unless it is a knitting pattern,

AFTER knitting? I usually fall asleep, but I guess if I couldn't knit I would look at/read cookbooks and try new and delicious recipes. I do this a little now, but I would foster the interest if, for some reason, knitting were not an option. I think I would take cooking classes, actually. See that?? I almost typed knitting classes. : )

Thanks you for all the lovely give-aways!! This is so fun!!

Ooooh, while I'd love to knit matching sweaters for my two daughters, I think that I deserve something beautiful with it because I WON'T GROW OUT OF IT NEXT MONTH!!! Or at least I hope : )

I'd love a new hat, glove and scarf set. And I think it would be just gorgeous in this.
