Got Veggies?

Got your vegetable garden in yet? 

“The greatest fine art of the future will be the making of a comfortable living from a small piece of land.” - Abraham Lincoln

There are many good reasons to have a garden. I am sure it is different for everyone. Everyone ought to get out there and get their hands dirty, perhaps even their feet. It does a lot of good for the body, the spirit, and the soul. 

What are you waiting for? Join the people putting their gardens in this weekend. 

From seed or seedling, like fiddling, it is music to the soul.

7 Reasons to have a vegetable garden:

1.      Save money. Grow your own instead of buying in the store.

2.      Improve your health. Eat healthier, fresh and better taste with fewer chemicals. Eat higher nutrition and know what goes into your food and your body.

3.      Stress reduction. Mental hygiene. Get physical exercise and fresh air.

4.      Share your blessings. Share produce with others. Strengthen connections with others.

5.      Teach others. Share the joys of gardening, especially with your children and grandchildren. Learn and teach self-sustainability.

6.      Experience nature and life. Help the environment.

7.      Have a sense of pride and satisfaction. Having something to protect and nurture by doing visible and rewarding work.

Be blessed and be a blessing to others!
