Why plant a garden this year, even if you never have before? Please share.
Why plant a garden this year, even if you never
have before? Please share.
1. A
garden can be small or large. It can be
planted almost anywhere by almost anyone.
2. A
garden can be extremely cheap to plant.
You can even use unused food (and water) from your kitchen or pantry to
plant some items. Lots of information
here on how.
3. Gardening
can be great exercise and can provide some healthy exposure to the sun if not
overdone.
4. Gardening
builds self-efficacy, a feeling of accomplishment.
5. Gardening
teaches children, and adults, the law of the harvest. Something many have forgotten, and others
have never learned. You really do reap
what you sow, sooner or later.
6. Gardening
helps children, and adults, better love healthy, nutritious, home-grown, foods.
7. Healthy
garden fruits, vegetables, and legumes help to produce better health… when
eaten consistently.
8. Gardening
with friends/family can be a great bonding, fun, memory building, activity.
9. Because
of covid-19 and business shut-downs, there are some potential and serious
supply-chain issues developing in the world.
10. Because
of locusts (Africa) and crickets (U.S.), there may be some serious food
shortages in the months ahead.
11. Also
because of covid-19, and the current market reduction, many farmers are having
to destroy product. This may complicate
shortages.
12. Fresh
produce is often more nutritious and has a better taste.
13. IF
there are severe food shortages and even if you do not need the produce from
your garden, producing your own allows more for others who may need it.
14. Getting
your hands dirty, in the soil, can help elevate mood. https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=partner-pub-5711788274796738:3989354705&ie=UTF-8&q=dirt+soil+depression&sa=Search&safe=high
