In our world of preservatives and additives, I'm so excited to know exactly where my veggies are coming from. Local food is often safer, not to mention you're eliminating the need for gas guzzling trucks to carry produce across the country.
So in addition to frequenting the areas farmer's markets, I'm growing my own food! Ever supportive of my (often times odd) endeavors, the boyfriend took to building 2 veggie boxes with gusto. Pouring pounds of good wholesome dirt on top of weed netting, I was ready to begin. I planted rows and rows of vegetables knowing I would be over the moon if just one little guy worked his way up towards the sun.
EVERYTHING HAS SPROUTED! Poblanos, arugula, squash, spinach, jalapenos............!
Look. You might take one peek at the pictures and shake your head, mumbling "that's amateur" or something of the like. But keep in mind, it isn't about the tidiness of the rows, or the spacing of the plants. It's the point of growing your own food.
Our choices in food affect the earth in so many ways. Be mindful and have fun!
