REASONS TO GROW YOUR OWN FOOD

1. Health: Yours, Your Children’s, and the Planet’s

When a family gardens, their diet is more diverse and inherently healthier, packed with vitamins, mine

rals, and antioxidants. Food in its purest, freshest form is not only the tastiest way to enjoy it but also the most beneficial nutritionally.

2. Teach Peace: An Outdoor Classroom

Backyard gardens teach children about the origin of food, creating a powerful connection to the dinner plate that’s simply magical. Kids can help plant, water, weed, and harvest produce, and after spending time caring for the plants, they’ll be more apt to eat the fruits of their labor. This same magic has an effect on adults, too. When you toss a homegrown salad together, cook a pot of greens, or serve a stir-fried medley of vegetables, you have a deeper appreciation of its amazing path to your plate.

3. Taste: A New World of Flavors

Enjoy more variety! Seed catalogs and garden centers offer seemingly endless options in varying colors and shapes, often with charming historical names. Thousands of varieties of tomatoes are at your fingertips, versus the simple red, round tomato in supermarkets. A tomato grower who supplies a large market needs to grow varieties that ripen all at once for a more economical harvest that can survive shipping in good condition, while a home gardener can select tomatoes for flavor, extended harvest, and color. The same is true for many other crops.

4. Cost: Get More for Less

If you love to buy fresh produce—especially organic—you can confidently reduce your monthly expenditures. Cost efficiency is an age-old reason to grow your own food since seeds, sun, and nature’s soil is not expensive. However, like any hobby, gardening can get pricey if you choose to purchase lots of equipment or gardening gadgets. The most economical system to produce large quantities of the fruits and vegetables you love is a pre-programmed, soil free hydroponic tower. Learn More at GardenActivist.org

From No Dig | Educational] - I have a drone!! Edward took this at 7am, is about 60% of the garden.

Some beds empty after clearing peas and beans, there are loads of lettuce to transplant soon plus broccoli, swede, beetroot, kale and chard. Lots about successions and spacings in my second online course.

🥕🥕 CARROT TIPS!
From Giant Veg]] via Gardening • Education • Plants]] - Growing GIANT carrots - OK, if I'm honest this is more of a Frankencarrot to me, with so many secondary roots coming off of the main taproot. But, it's ONE carrot grown by Kevin Fortey of Giant Veg]]. Here are his two top tips for growing EPIC carrots.⁣
⁣
1. Start off giant carrot seeds in an airpot or airRAP and use a very light soil mixture to make transplanting easier. Transplanting is key because it helps achieve bigger roots and a heavier carrot.⁣
⁣
2. Use drip irrigation and avoid hand watering, as carrots are prone to splitting if they get a lot of water at once.⁣
