Benefits of Planting & Picking your own vegetables:
Improving your health – It helps you eat more fresh fruit and vegetables. You are also completely in control of type of soil you use, type of fertilizer, avoiding unwanted pesticides in your food, and when to pick your own food.
Save money on groceries – There is no argument that prices are increasing in our current economy, and shopping for healthy food is more expensive than ever. Cut these costs down by growing your own, whether from seed or from transplanting into your garden beds.
Outdoor Exercise – Taking care of your vegetable garden, depending on how extensive your garden is, can be a great way to get some physical exercise and vitamin d in. Getting your kids involved is even better!
