Trevour Sargent does it, Eamonn Ryan does it and even Michelle Obama does it.
Ireland's Green Ministers both have veg patches and America's First Lady is turning part of the South Lawn into an organic veg garden to provide food for the first family. This is all breaking new ground.
Speaking of which, Get Ireland Growing, a campaign to encourage those interested in community gardens and allotments, was launched by the Green Party on Sunday.
It's aim is to promote growing your own to save money, to improve public health and to enhance community spirit. Now this is one recipe that can take us all forward.
It's website, www.getgrowing.ie, features advice, allotment success stories with links to community facilities and gardening centres. Minister Sargent will also be providing regular YouTube clips with growing tips. And personally I can't wait to see the Eamonn Ryan clips. Delicious.
