Last spring I rediscovered a book that has been on my shelf for a decade. As I planted some veg seeds in my garden for the first time, From Seed to Plate by Paolo Arrigo was inspiring and valuable reference material. Having failed to inherit my parents’ vibrant green fingers, Paolo’s guiding hand was especially helpful to me because his friendly cultivation advice links growing directly to eating. And I certainly wanted to enjoy the edible rewards of my efforts.
