Is the food you buy safe to eat?

[Jimbo]

I would love to hear about other forum members experiences with backyard gardening and or full scale farming.

Does anybody here grow their own food? Do you use heirlooms, GMO, organic, outdoor, indoor, greenhouse, permaculture...etc?

I'm interested in what methods y'all found to be successful as well as what failed.

I'm ashamed to say I don't grow anything special, but several years ago, a family friend gave us a New Zealand spinach plant. I planted it in the soil, and it grows and spreads very prolifically. It spreads almost like a weed, but unlike weeds, it's easily pulled out from areas where it isn't wanted. It isn't actually related to spinach, but cooks up just the same, and is delicious.
