I am so sad about your spinach! But happy that many other things are thriving. We do not eat a lot of potatoes, but are not afraid of them.

Ya know, I’m just starting to get into ‘organic’ foods more and more, but I really feel as though some things are much more important to eat organic than others, that was why I was glad to see your list of the dirty dozen! Thank you!!!! 🙂

Also, I’m jealous you get to garden! 🙂 I wish I had an area where I could, but for now, I’ll have to pay someone to do it for me!

Ps… I love your blog and I wanted to let you know that I am adding you to my blog roll! I just wanted to tell you that I check your posts often, but am bad at commenting at times! I’m trying to get better at that! 🙂 xoxo Katie

Your garden looks great!

I like potatoes, but don’t eat them that often. Not for nutritional reasons, but I just don’t find myself buying them that much.

Your garden is coming along quite nice!! So spinach needs a lot of tender care, I see? Of course in C-bus we don’t exactly get 98 degree weather, yikes!

Why is it that I have never seen blueberries on a dirty list?? I have been buying NON-organic blueberries for years now, darn it. I’m pissed! I guess I’ll have to start shelling out more money for organic. At least when I have kids or when I’m pregnant I will do that….

I love potatoes. We eat them at least once a week. I think they are PACKED with good nutrition, and you are right, they get a really bad rap!

I have seen the dirty dozen, but had not seen the clean 15. Thanks for sharing. The garden is looking good despite the spinach. 🙂 My spinach has gone to seed and isn’t good now either.

Nicole you read my mind! The other day I was talking with a co-worker about the dirty dozen but I couldn’t remember them all — I am going to email the link to this post to her! Thank you!!!

Personally, I chose to eat organic to avoid pesticides – not for nutrients, which I know sounds bad, but its true. I just don’t like the idea of ingesting harmful toxins, but it is good to know I don’t have to buy organic for everything 🙂

yay for your two mile run 🙂 good luck with your goal!

Okay, officially jealous of your garden – the deer and rabbits ate mine every year so Tony and I just gave up.

My herbs are doing well though!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, potatoes, any shape and size. I do try to keep the skins on for the fiber, so my go to is both red and white new potatoes – even made them last night! 😀

Sorry about your spinach, but your garden looks great!!! And yes, gardening is a lot of work. But it’s so worth it!

I love sweet potatoes. We took a break from “regular” potatoes for a while, but I roasted some with other veggies the other night, and they were delicious! I love baked sweet potato fries, but the last few batches I made didn’t turn out so great… Can’t wait to see what you’ll make with your own potatoes! 🙂
