New botulism warning for canned green beans...

Nakor, that's why I buy my veggies at a Harvest Market or at the local Coop. I know where the veggies come from. Also, if I go to my Mom's I usually get something from her garden. She grows her own tomatoes, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries.

Ah, if only! Actually, the climate here would be perfect for blueberry growing, but I understand the plants can be quite hard to control, if one isn't careful, taking over the area they're in, so not so good for smaller gardens. We mostly do veggies in our garden, although there are some raspberry plants along the side.

I'm pretty sure my mom only uses fresh green beans, too. The canned kind are just kinda... bleh compared to fresh ones. The only thing they're useful for is making green bean casserole, and I only eat that like once a year, on Thanksgiving. Not exactly a cause for concern.
