Do you prefer to have your own vegetable garden?

[ladydi770]

I am a fan of gardening and it's like a hobby that refreshes my entire well being. Whenever i feel sad i just go to my garden and see the fruit of my hard work, i do both have a vegetable and flower garden. Some of the seeds can be planted early fall to be ready for spring, not only you'll save money from purchasing vegetables on the store you can also make sure that its purely organic. I also have a separate part for the compost, here is where I gather all the vegetables and fruits clippings and peeling. So whenever i feel like eating some garden salad i just pick up from the fresh lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers outside and make my own homemade dressing that's one healthy and delicious entrée. Not only you can save money, you can also assure of a healthy lifestyle for you and your family.

WITH THE PRICE OF FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES THESE DAY, WE ALL ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE OLD WAYS OF DOING THINGS.

I have a vegetable garden. So did my grandmother, her mother, her grandmother, etc.

I have grown okra, tomatoes, pumpkins, herbs, cabbage, and several varieties of lettuce.  It's awesome to make a garden from things in your back yard.  Lettuce grows great in Tx. and keeps growing for a while so you get several salads out of a single plant.  And it stays fresh unlike having pre-harvested lettuce in bags in the fridge.  I live in the city and have grown these things in pots, and right outide in the dirt in an area of my backyard.  I get great results bc I compost.

I have a friend who grows her own flowers, fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Like yourself, we share the same philosophy. I definitely prefer to grow my own vegetables. At least I will know they are organically grown without any use of herbicides, fungicides, pesticides, etc. that are harmful to our health. Unfortunately we cannot grow our own vegetables because we live in a rented home.

I love having my own garden.  It's kind of a therapy for me.  I'm looking into doing one of those indoor botanical flower gardens.  Sounds fun.  I love the taste of fresh picked garden veggies.  I also enjoy giving stuff away to friends and neighbors.

Love my own garden, I did container garden this year was fair but not what I expected.

Hey Kapeh, a friend just gave me some home grown carrots and they were sooo huge and sweet as candy.  It must be because there were no chemicals used during the growth.  I just love home made and home grown.

I love gardening. This summer my garden was 100 feet by 80 feet. and i did a lot of canning and freezing and now my 14.8 cubic foot freezer is full. im glad i have plenty of fresh frozen veggies to eat all year long.

I would love to have my own vegetable garden, but I have learned in this area where I am that the slugs won't let you. Do you know what a slug is.  It is a snail without the housing. It's 3 or 4 inches long and slimy and about 1/4' thick. Look like leeches from a distance.

I would love to have my own garden.  I used to grow tomatoes and a few other things.  Now I could do some container stuff on my deck, but we are gone for a few weeks in the summer and everything dies.

Not so much.  I'd have to enjoy vegetables to enjoy my own garden.
