table of goodies
Today we had a few people over to celebrate home-grown food. The food was really good! Afterwards we walked around the garden and discussed all the things we’re growing. If you’re not growing your own food, you should! So many reasons:
– Fun
– Thrift
– Grow varieties you can’t get in the store
– Know where your food came from
– Food is fresher and maybe even more nutritious (if you grow organically)
– Connection to nature
– Totally egalitarian (everyone eats)
– Great exercise
– Satisfying and fulfilling
Not that I would want to be responsible for growing everything we eat – nor do I think we could do so, on just 2/3 of an acre – but I love being able to step out the back door to pick ingredients for dinner!
