10 Good Reasons To Grow Your Own Food
Posted March 3, 2006 – 9:11 pm in: Gardening
It’s been many years since I lived in a place where I’ve been able to plant a garden. Now that we’re in our own home, we are working on developing a garden. Last year was limited to several tomato plants and a small herb garden. This year we are going to expand on that effort.
The Urban Farmer lists some good reasons to growing your own food.
- Great tasting, fresh, and nutritious food right outside your door.
- Practice good “economy”.
- Nurture your physical, emotional and spiritual health.
- Create beautiful, aesthetically pleasing spaces.
- Conserve wilderness, natural areas, and bio-diversity.
- Connect with your own bio-region.
- Learn and preserve endangered wisdom and essential knowledge for living.
- Contribute to world food security.
- Help to preserve diverse seed stocks.
- Reduce climate change.

Spring is coming!! Please consider telling folks about our Vegetable Gardening Slide Chart.
Chart has a sliding frost line, works all over North America and comes with a
National listing of frost dates, $3.50 postage paid.
It is an excellent tool for teaching vegetable gardening.
And very handy for the experienced gardener as well.
