Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["TradingPostPaul" <tradingpost@riseup.net>]

But we're still eating our frozen roma beans and tomatoes from last summer, 
grown in our garden. If that isn't local, what is? Some root crops can be 
kept for months in a cool place, all for eating out of season.  Who said 
frozen, dried, or otherwise preserved food isn't local?
