In My Backyard
Food and neighborhood DIY (do-it-yourself) projects go hand in hand for Lisa Bralts, who lives in an east Urbana neighborhood with her family and is surrounded by great neighbors and several gardens, including her own. She's amazed at the possibilities and practices that exist just underneath the surface here in Central Illinois - you just have to poke around a little. Her blog is at majorprogression.wordpress.com.
