Look out for lead

Our outdoor garden has been thriving. I've been really looking forward to tasting our onions and sweet peas. Then Chris saw this piece in the NY Times about the prevalence of lead in urban gardens, so of course we're gonna get our soil tested. Luckily, our tomato plant and herbs are indoors and were planted with new soil.

So, my city-dwelling lovelies, before you plant your edibles in a little yard or garden plot, check out your soil to make sure you're not munching on more than you bargained for!
