Growing your own herbs, fruits and veggies is pretty easy. All you need is soil, some seeds, and a little time and patience.
Make your garden as big as a small plot of land in the backyard or as
small as a few pots on the porch. It helps to choose seeds that grow
well in your area (ask your local gardener or check out what people are
selling a lot of in the farmer’s market) so you won’t be endlessly
battling fungus and pests and it’ll be easier to grow them without
pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Choose seeds that are 100%
certified organic to avoid the gmo market (http://www.seedsofchange.com
has a wonderful assortment of high-quality seeds). Or, better yet,
save the seeds when you purchase organic produce at your local health
food store or farmer’s market. Dry them on your windowsill and save them
in a little bag until planting. We have an abundance of pepper plants
in our green house, a prolific guava tree in our yard, pineapple plants
(plant the tops), and young lemon trees all from saving the seeds from
local produce. Happy Growing!
