Don’t these homegrown organic blueberries look scrumptious?
Here are a few reasons to grow your own fruits and veggies, and why not go organic?
1. An average tomato plant costs about $1.50 and can yield around 12 pounds of tomatoes. The cost of heirloom tomatoes at a local summer market can be $2- $6 per pound. That saves you plenty, just on tomatoes!
2. By the time greens are shipped and sit on store shelves, their nutritional value is compromised. Imagine eating yours the day you pick them!
3. Organic gardening changes your mindset into one of re-purposing. A little homemade compost and a bit of elbow grease goes a long way for your grocery budget, your side dishes, and your general enjoyment.
