Food garden anyone?
I am far from a professional cook nor am I a true blue gardener. So what is the point you ask
? Here it is -- Cooking may well include the pleasure of gardening. So what if you're red thumb-ed and not green? And, so what if you don't have a big yard nor a large garden? What you need are clay pots in different sizes to house your plants. Planting vegetables, herbs, fruit trees as well as flowers is not only enjoyable but a wellness activity too. There's a certain delectation in picking, cooking and partaking that which your own hands helped grow.

of years ago, I had plenty of herbs in our backyard. Mint, basil, thyme, rosemary, dill, marjoram and oregano. What I could not use fresh, I dried. Just pick them in the mornings (best time to pick herbs) and dried them using small mesh bags. When dried, I stored them in clean, recycled bottles, sealed tight not waiting for any excuse as to be incorporated in every imaginable dish I prepared.
I also have different varieties of chili and tomatoes plants but they are still small. About fruit trees,
we have several as well. I have been also been trying to grow celery but no luck. I am planning to buy additional seeds like aubergine, tomato (other varieties), lemon grass cuttings but first I am waiting for my recently composted backyard soil to get even healthier. I can garden anytime. It is always a pleasure.
With today's global concern about the environment, eco-living and eco-gardens are starting to catch up with our lifestyles. Good for us humans. T
here is still time to repair the damage we have done and continue to do to Mother Earth. If we start now, perhaps there's hope. So why not have a food garden soon.
