Whether you’re looking for a new hobby, tired of inflated food prices or
just want to be more connected to what you eat, food gardening is a great
way to save money while
growing delicious and nutritious foods.
The idea of growing your own food may sound daunting, which is why we
talked to experts who reassured us it isn’t as hard as you think.
“I soon learned that once you’ve broken ground, keeping a garden is not
much work at all,”
says David Toht, author of “Backyard Homesteading: A Back-to-Basics Guide
to Self-Sufficiency” and “40 Projects for Building Your Backyard
Homestead: A Hands-On, Step-by-Step Sustainable-Living Guide.”
“It’s a pleasure to check the garden in the evening and find, say, more
snow peas ready for stir-frying, a hidden zucchini that better be
harvested quick before it turns into a dirigible and, joy of joys, that
first ripe tomato.”
When you are going to start growing your own food, you need some seeds. Below you can order them and see which time of the year you need to plant them.
