Growing your own food is something that we all should do, we do not need a huge area in which to grow nor a garden plot at all. These days you can get a lot of variety in the small edibles bracket that can be grown happily in containers or window boxes. It is not only satisfying to the soul but great for our bodies and well being. I say to all give it a go, no matter where you are.
Here in Nova Scotia on our homestead we do have a rather large garden, there are a few of us and I love the work. It is harvest time and we are seeing great results. The heirloom tomatoes are producing huge amounts.
We have had a wonderful harvest from the greens and whites. Some things like spinach and beetroot failed. I feel they need more nutrients which our soil is lacking. It will improve.
All in all we are very happy with this years efforts and looking forward to next year when we plan even more.
So, next gardening time grab a few packets of seeds (non GMO ) buy a few veg plants in the sales and give it a go. You will not regret it!
