During this health crisis the world is in, we have all had to be resourceful and creative with the foods we have in our homes as we "stay at home". As we are currently have limited access to the stores we shop, it makes sense to grow our own vegetables at home for several reasons.
1. Colorful gardens make your yard attractive and inviting.
2. Growing your vegetables will save you money and help your budget.
3.Being outdoors working in the garden and soil is a healthy way to bring out positivity as you soak up natural Vitamin D.
4. Growing your own vegetables organically will help the environment when you eliminate chemicals and pesticides.
5. Family gardening is a great activity to do together. Having your children involved in growing their vegetables will help them understand and appreciate how the food gets to their table.
I don't propose to be a great gardener but I make an effort to educate myself. This week I have signed up for a virtual class in gardening given by Morton Arboretum, allowing us a chance to get answers on our garden and plant questions.
I recently came across this combination for weed control I am going to try. 1/2 cup Epsom salt and 1/2 bottle vinegar together in a spray bottle and spray directly on the weeds. I'll confirm during my virtual session if this formula will get the job done while not harming my garden. Fingers crossed!
What are you growing in your garden this year?
