As I’ve said before, we grow all our own food here at David Alfred Bywaters’s Crossword Cavalcade and Fortnightly Victorian Novel Recommender, and we grow it organically, using locally-sourced, handmade tools.  How, you wonder, do we keep the pests away without pesticides?  It’s simple.  Following a hint from Frances Hodgson Burnett, we hide our plants in a secret garden, where the pests can’t find them.  It’s one of this website’s many world-improving innovations, which we offer, like our crosswords and our novel recommendations, free of charge.
