I'm a big fan of the local-eating movement - not only do you get a gold star for the environment (which is no small gain for a woman who has given up paper towels, a loss I feel deeply every time one of my cats pukes), but the food always just tastes better.
Which is why it pains me so deeply when I consistently kill my tomatoes and rosemary, run off to the store to buy and plant fresh basil just to watch it immediately wither and die, receive healthy plants from friends and somehow reflect on our relationship by sucking all life from them.
I try, I read the online literature, I water regularly, and then, if things go south, less regularly, in efforts to grow my own...
...and I always fail.
Local eating will still taste great when I pick it up from the store...but my bank account will be so much less tasty.
