Growing Foods From the Dirty Dozen List
When choosing what to grow there are different approaches to it. In the past we mostly grew what grows well here and we have had success with it. With limited space and possibilities only a few of us can grow everything we eat.
One of the reasons we grow our own food is because we want better quality, locally and organically grown food. Foods that are not contaminated by pesticides. Environmental Working Group tells us that there is a difference, not all foods are contaminated alike. You may or may not have heard of The Dirty Dozen. Those are foods that have been contaminated the most.
