Why and How to Get Organized in Vegetable Gardening

Vegetable gardening is such a great activity to be involved in. It’s only since I’ve had children that I’ve begun. Not only are you able to provide food for your family (which helps lessen the shopping expenses) but it also provides rich learning experiences for your children.

I love it because it gets us outside together and is an activity that produces a product we actually use from day to day.

Why Vegetable Gardening is good for your health:

• it is an excellent form of relaxation
• gets you out in the fresh air and sunshine
• provides a natural form of exercise and use of your muscles

• they learn about seasons
• about sowing and reaping and how things grow
• they learn about micro-organisims and bugs and insects. Supply them with a bug catcher (especially to catch those annoying white butterflies…)
• about caring for nature (not the white butterflies though!)
• water conservation
• and so much more!!

• It can become a profitable hobby
• Nothing matches the flavour, freshness or quality of home grown produce
• You don’t end up consuming all the chemicals and sprays that are found on shop brought produce.
• You can pick the produce at the peak of their maturity. Most retailers supply produce that is picked too early and so loses a lot of it’s goodness and flavour
