Blackmore, a farmer from Nova Scotia who lives on a windswept island in the Atlantic Ocean, wants to «turn hesitant gardeners into
avid vegetable growers» by offering a crash course in which vegetables are easiest to grow and, simultaneously, most versatile in the kitchen.
An avid vegetable grower for 38 years, I have been farming as a member of Twin Oaks Community in central Virginia for over 20 years, where I lead the growing of food for around 100 people on three and a half acres and provide training for members in sustainable vegetable production.
