Learn to grow some of my own food

Posted on November 29, 2006

I want to learn to grow, harvest, and preserve some of my own food.

Supermarket food is expensive, and if I can be somewhat self-sufficient, why shouldn't I be? What will happen if I suddenly have very little money for some reason? At least this way, I'd be able to feed myself. Besides... if I grow it, I know where it came from, and what was put into it. If I don't want pesticides in my diet, I can be the one to choose not to use them.

Learn to grow some of my own food

I grow some of my own food, and it's remarkably easy and equally fulfilling. Each year my girlfriend & I expand our garden, making room to plant some more new things. And each year we're pleasantly surprised -- all it takes to grow food, it seems, is dirt, seeds, water, and sunshine.

Neither of us have much time to weed the garden or spend time pruning or anything like that. So we just kinda stick seeds in the ground and see what happens. So far we've successfully grown spaghetti squash, peas, beans, cucumbers, zucchini, kale, chard, beets, tomatoes, carrots, and a ton of herbs.
