Eating From My Garden

I’ve been spending a lot more time in the garden lately.  I’m still learning, and there’s been a bit of collateral damage, but I’ve had success as well.  It felt really great when I could cook a stew with the pickings from my Lazy housewife green beans.

I strongly believe that we all need to start growing some of our own food.  And I wish community gardens were a thing here, but I guess the only way that would happen is if we started doing that ourselves.  And you don’t need that much space to plant your veggies, there are so many videos and articles about growing veggies in pots.  Then there are also the various aquaponic options which I still want to explore this year.

Not only is gardening good for supplying your own veggies, but it’s good for the soul too.  There’s just something about spending time outside, getting a bit of sunshine, surrounded by plants.

Here’s a great tip I recently tried, and it worked amazingly well:

Take a potato, make a few small holes in it.  Put lemon seeds in there and bury it in the ground.  Soon you’ll have a few baby lemon trees…

See you in the garden!
