Have you been thinking about starting your very first food garden? You’re in good company. More people are starting to grow at least some of their own food. There are many reasons for it, but among them is a growing realization that gardening has physical and mental health benefits, and a desire to have access to fresh, organic food without having to spend a lot for it. Growing your own fruits, vegetables and herbs is one of the most satisfying ways to eat healthier, save money, and enjoy fresh air, sunshine, and moderate exercise while you’re at it.
