Grow Your Own Safe Food

  You have probably heard many of the news reports about people buying organic food, and some of the reasons why. Many today are rushing to the stores that sell organic food and will pay the extra cost of having food that is nourishing in the house, vs, the food offered conveniently at the common grocery stores.

  People will pay more for good food, simply because they know it is better for them, for many reasons. One reason is that eating good food will probably result in less trips to the doctor, in the long run.

   With that in mind, why not grow your own food? If done right, it will be more nourishing and probably taste better too!

  Not as easy though, as you think, but there are some things about it that aren't too hard. If you eat organic produce, chances are, you can replant the food you eat.

   Take an avocado, for example. You can eat one, clean the pit off, and let it dry, then plant it. It takes several weeks before the plant will come up, but when it does, it will grow into a beautiful plant which will bear good fruit that you can eat and use in cooking.

   I did that with a couple of plants. So far, I have an avocado plant and a mango plant, both being organic, growing on my porch. You can also grow potatoes and other various vegetables in the same way. Put the seeds in potting soil, and let it sprout and grow, then when big enough, replant the plant in a place prepared using organically prepared soil. Or, plant in containers that are the appropriate size for the plant.
