Vegetable Garden Plants - In the northern hemisphere Spring is coming. The snowdrops and crocuses have in many places already burst out into flowers. Maybe this has set your mind working, and you’re wondering what to do with that spare plot of the earth at the back of your house. Well, how about a vegetable garden?
Vegetable Gardening For Flavor
I’m not sure whether it really is true, in any scientifically provable way, that my home-grown veggies from the kitchen garden taste better than what my wife buys in the local store, but I know it feels that way.
There’s certainly something special about eating what you’ve grown yourself. What’s more, you know it’s fresh; you picked it yourself just an hour or so ago. And if you have children in the household they will know that food does not come from a plastic bag but from God’s good earth.
How Was it Grown?
Personally, I’m not opposed to chemicals. Why? Because everything we eat is chemical. Even the cleanest air we breathe is chemical.
The freshest, most unpolluted water we drink is chemical. The materials of our bodies are chemical. The green leaves of a plant are chemical. It’s not that chemicals are bad in themselves, otherwise, everything around us would be bad, but it’s a question of what kinds of chemicals.
Plants need food, and they often need protection from pests and diseases. When you grow your food yourself you know exactly what has been used to fertilize the soil, what has been used to guard the growing crops against insect damage and plant disease. The uncertainties are removed. You know what you’re giving your family to eat.
Good Food and Good Exercise
For many of us, our modern lifestyle does not make it easy to keep our bodies in good condition. Obesity and slack muscles are all too common these days.
Half an hour a day looking after a kitchen garden can make a major difference to a person’s physical fitness. The variety of movements involved exercises in many different muscular groups including legs, arms, back, and more. It won’t be long before you start to feel the difference.
So Why Not?
Whether you’re looking for more flavourful food, trying to save the planet, or aspiring after a better-toned body, a vegetable garden could do you good. Spring is coming. It’s time to be clearing the earth and sowing the seed. You’ll not regret it.
