Growing Your Own Produce

// March 22nd, 2011 // Big JimmyK's Blog

I am curious as to how many people grow their own veggies? We have started growing ours in our shop area indoors due to the very short growing season in our area! Yup thats right some seeds, some grow lights, planting soil, shelving with water and we are well on our way to having enough fresh vegetables to sustain our household. I started this winter as a hobby and from a small fear of what was on the leaves of the produce we buy. Actually after reading about the Japan nuclear meltdown I suddenly am very glad that I started this adventure. It may be sooner then we think that growing our own vegetables not only is fun but very crucial to our health. Many vegetables are imported and honestly we don’t know for sure where from, now I don’t know about you but that makes me a bit uncomfortable. There is nothing like the satisfaction of seeing something grow, for me it’s very exciting and comforting and that alone is reason enough for me to continue however anyone can do it. I have watched numerous videos for folks growing vegetables in their bathrooms, laundry rooms and various other small locations so don’t be discouraged by lack of space. The cost is minimal and most plants just keep producing not to mention you can’t beat the taste of fresh vegetables. So that being said I invite you to look into it you might be surprised how much you will enjoy it. Happy planting!
