Our garden is growing so well this year! Larry and I go look at it together every day and Larry waters it.
If everyone would grow food around their houses instead of industrial landscaping, there would be no food shortage.
Larry’s sister just bought some equipment to start keeping bees, so we may do that too.
You can grow food anywhere. Even in pots if all you have it cement.
Back during World War I and World War II when there were food shortages, Americans were encouraged to grow Victory Gardens.
Even if you have never grown edible plants before, I encourage you to state now.
If you do have a garden, we would love to know what you are growing and what you are eating from your garden.
