Did you know that Apples, Bell Peppers, Celery, Imported Grapes, Nectarines, Peaches, Pears, Potatoes, Raspberries, Spinach and Strawberries are the top 11 pesticide infected foods in your refrigerator according to February's issue of Consumer Reports. Buying organic, or even better locally grown food not only protects you from these toxins but also cuts down on carbon emissions because the food doesn't have to travel to you anymore, keeping you, your family & the earth healthier.
However, we know ponying up the extra dough for organic can get expensive. So here is a list of non-organic fruits and veggies that are least tainted with pesticides so you can splurge on the others: asparagus, avocados, bananas, broccoli, cauliflower, corn, kiwi, mangoes, onions, papayas, pineapples and sweet peas are the least loaded with toxins.

I'm glad that you appreciate the information I have posted on my blogs. You also have a very informative article, I know now which fruits to buy to keep us healthy. I agree with you that locally grown food is the best, unfortunately I have a very small backyard.

I too have a small backyard. I have seen some very creative ways to utilize this though for planting. You can cut plastic bottles in half and tie them to your fence or any wall and plant vertically. It is actually just as pretty as functional.
