As Bonnie Sammons says in her Maine Compass, “Locally produced food is more sustainable way to grow” (May 14), this is a good time for us to consider growing some of our own food.
It is empowering to produce our own food and gratifying to see the impact it has on our grocery bills. People who are interested in growing their own food but do not have the space can contact Sustain Mid Maine Coalition, which has community garden plots available in Oakland and Winslow.
Beds, available for a small fee, are to be maintained without any chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides. Master gardeners are available to assist gardeners with any questions they might have.
