Growing your own food is exciting, not only because you get
to see things grow from nothing into ready-to-eat fruits and veggies, but you
also don’t have to worry about the pesticides they might contain, and you
definitely cut down on the miles they—and you—have to travel.
As it turns out, with pretty minimal effort, anyone can
be a gardener. My boyfriend and I are essentially first-timers this season and
so far have the beginnings of strawberries peeking out, tomatoes are on their
way, the basil’s about ready for a big batch of pesto, and once the last frost
hits, the peppers, kale, spinach, chard, and mesclun will be on their way, too.
All on a tiiiny little terrace (with the help of a little DIY carpentry).
If you’re up to the challenge—and it really isn’t much of
one—growing your own food can be so rewarding. And so much cheaper! Just be
sure to choose the right planter or container, learn how
to maintain it properly, and go find yourself some seeds! (Or starter
plants.) (Read further: Source)
