It is a brand new year and already I have a new addiction, obsession, weakness. I can’t seem to shake it…Victory Gardens. There, I said it. I know it is really quite shocking. I’ve grown vegetables before. 2007 was the year of the tomato. I made wonderful spaghetti sauce that year. Family, friends and neighbors may remember 2008 as the year they were accosted with bags of long green lovely zucchini.
