Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

Yes! We've been doing this for quite awhile, since our niece, who has
been experimenting with raw foods, showed us how to do this! You can
also soak a few almonds in your vita-mixer (blend-tech is great, too!)
overnight, then add your fruit and greens (chard is good, too), maybe a
medjool date or two :P....in the morning, and blend all to create a
"milk" base.
