What I especially like about gardening is that you have control over the way your food is grown. You have control over the flavor, freshness, variety and the quality of the food you produce. You can grow food that is herbicide free and pesticide free. Knowing how to grow your own produce is rapidly becoming a lost skill. We are in danger of depending on grocery stores to supply us with nutritional groceries. We desperately need to know how to grow our own food. This is a valuable life skill because being able to grow you own food is an assurance that you will not go hungry. Your garden does not have to be big. Containers can be used to grow vegetables, fruits and herbs. Growing fruits and vegetables seems overwhelming to most people, but it can be done. Gardening is like any other skill; it has to be learned. And you learn by doing.
This is what the garden is looking like this month:
 |
| I let wildflowers grow in my garden to help feed the honey bees. |
 |
| Ear of Corn |
 |
| The corn is not as tall as it is normally. |
 |
| There are a lot of peaches this year, but they are small in size. |
 |
