Having a garden is one of the best things a person can do for so many reasons. First of all your own food source and knowing where it comes from and how it’s been grown from garden to table. From gmos to pesticides and herbicides you know and it’s your choice what you feed yourself and your family. It can be self sustaining and cut costs by not buying produce from the store and therefore less gas to go. Furthermore starting that garden from seed saves more money by not buying plants every year,that trip to the storeas well as seeds being better priced. The number of plants you’ll get from one packet of seed which is generally half the cost of one plant. Also plants from the store are generally hybrids not heirloom, although they do offer a few they are very limited. This means if you save the seed they’ll grow but wont breed true. If you buy heirloom seed there are literally hundreds of open pollinated choices and then once you get produce harvested from your garden you can save seed for next year. BAM self sufficient food source. Happy gardening.
