I thought this would be of interest to the list-

New LC Science Tracer Bullet: Kitchen Gardens
http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/tracer-bullets/kitchengardenstb.html

Scope: The kitchen garden, once a standard fixture of most American
households, is gaining renewed attention as one component of the
movement towards local, fresh and seasonal foods. Many people who take
up kitchen gardening are concerned about the sustainability of a system
in which most foods in a typical meal have traveled over 1,000 miles to
get to their tables. Some kitchen gardeners are drawn by the variety of
heirloom and hybrid plants available to growers, while others are
attracted by freshness, flavor and nutritional value.

The focus of this guide is on the practicalities and history of kitchen
gardening.

Cheers!
