Its not too late to plot a small veggie garden, grow your favorite herbs or get a pumpkin patch ready for Halloween. Growing your own food can be personally rewarding and save you money but it also does wonders for the environment. Homegrown food requires very little energy or waste to produce and deliver – no excess packaging, shipping in large trucks or gas guzzled to get to the store and pick it up. You can also avoid unnecessary use of chemicals and pesticides so commonly found in our food these days. Be sure to plants varieties native to where you live so as not to disrupt the ecosystem or waste water on plants that can’t survive the conditions. Growing food can reconnect you to the wonder of nature and help you feel self -sufficient. So get to know your backyard or make the most of your windowsill, get your hands dirty – now that’s sexy!
