Healthy soil and sustainable growing

We had some delicatas for six months or more. Got a recipe for pumpkin

Barb and I feel the one thing that would help our clueless country more than 
anything is spreading simple and varied ways to cook the common fruits and 
vegetables. The healthiest and also cheapest part of the diet - but not using 
a lot of storebought or imported ingredients or spices.
