nature and the Earth — and knowing that you are planting and nurturing your own vegetables and fruits … and giving them so much love —[ is even better when ] you ’ re putting that love on the table for your family ,” Smith notes .

POPULAR PRODUCE One of the most crucial decisions you ’ ll make when planting a produce garden is which fruits or vegetables to plant . “ Here in Orange County , we are in [ USDA Plant Hardiness ] Zone 10B , which allows for a good amount of variety ,” Roy notes .
