About this Article

Despite the fact that temperatures have plunged and the world is encased in ice, Rose Allen still enjoys the benefits of her summer garden. "It's a joy for me to grow my own veggies. You don't need a lot of space," the Hoffman Estates woman says. "This year I grew collard greens, kale, broccoli, tomatoes and peppers. When I grow them, I know what I'm getting. Of course I don't use pesticides."
