People growing their own food

in HiveGarden3 days ago

There is always a demand for organic food in the community. I don't know if it is because I invest my time more on gardening these days but I see a lot of people switching to self grown vegetables in their home gardens. I see many people having their own gardens at home not only for some attractive plants but also for growing their own food. This is a very good thing because today the food that we get from many places are not hygienic and even if we choose the right place to eat, the raw materials and vegetables used are not authentic.

Organic revolution

People are against pesticides and insecticides. They consider insects and pests to be friends now because in many ways they help us and in organic farming methodology, people consider the importance of having the ecosystem well built so that the yield is also very good and at the same time we don't dump too many chemicals on the soil. We used to have organic farming across the world about a century back and in the name of modernizing, we have started including many harmful chemicals in our food in the form of pesticides and insecticides. Today people have this awareness and they don't fall in this trap anymore or at least try it.

It will take a lot more time for everyone to get full transition but right now it is all in the hands of the producers. If they produce organic food, we can consume organic food but if they keep producing harmful foods, then we again have no choice because that's what is commonly available. In order to break this dependency, people have started growing their own food.

Home garden for vegetables

Many people even go beyond vegetables and grow more things in their garden but right now the basic needs of a household can be solved with the help of home grown vegetables. As an experiment I tried growing ladies finger and I was able to get a very good yield from the farming at home. If I do it right, I can use it for my own family and at the same time I can also share it with others too. There are many vegetables that can be easily grown in our home garden. Ladies finger is just one among them.

When we grow our own vegetables, we know what we are adding to the soil for its growth and this way we are able to produce food that are fully organic and the satisfaction we get in producing food is amazing. This way we not only make our own food but also provide some small amount of food to the ecosystem too where bees and insects and wasps and even squirrels get benefited out of it.

This is now becoming a trend here and many new people have started exploring this and want to grow their own food at home and soon I think people will understand the need for it and this can become a very common thing.

I am also planning to do that, and that is really a great way to eat fresh.

When I was a student, at our school, we had an organoponic with vegetables and spices like chives and chili peppers. The students themselves were responsible for keeping it clean of weeds and watering it.

Here people don't have time or space for home vegetables so the solution has become to go directly to the farmers, not factory farmers ofc, that's what I do too

Having your own personal garden where you get to plant your organic vegetables is a big deal, I also plan to do this when we eventually get our own place

Love pulling food from the garden. I have been eating my weight in watermelon lately, lol. Next up is to harvest the sweet potatoes tomorrow. It's definitely a liberating experience.

In my garden, besides vegetables, I also have lots of berries, nuts, apples, pears, plums, and grapes. I don't use any chemicals to protect the plants. I can afford to buy any produce, but the ones from my garden are the best.

Subsistence farming has come to stay it seems .

It’s really encouraging to see more people returning to organic gardening and valuing healthier food choices. This is why agriculture can never die no matter how it turns out to be.

This is such an inspiring post! I completely agree that growing our own food is one of the best ways to stay healthy and avoid harmful chemicals. I hope more people follow this path so organic, homegrown food becomes the norm. 🌿

This is really true and I and my family can attest to it. We have been growing our own food for quite a long time and we planted even more since COVID-19 pandemic. During that time, people were directed to stay at home and thus, the homegrown vegetables are really big help to survive. Apart from this, you've mentioned of the satisfaction we get from it and yes, I agree. It's really satisfying to realize and experience that we are sure of the vegetables we are consuming - we are sure that they're safe and healthy and of course, that feeling of fulfillment that we are harvesting the fruit of our labor.

Happy gardening!

This is a good read. I love the ideas.

Growing your own vegetables not only assures fresh and organic food, but it also brings so much satisfaction and connection to nature.

It’s nice when you know exactly where your food is coming from and it really helps build a connection to nature too, plus, homegrown veggies is one of the best

For me personally, I actually love it and it is something that we have been waiting for

When I was young, elementary schools distributed milk in glass bottles to students every day. A handful of nuts was also given alongside it. Care was taken to ensure children's healthy development and nutrition. Nowadays, everyone pays special attention to their own health and nutrition. Because no one can trust the food and meals eaten outside. Who knows under what conditions red and white meat is stored and cooked? At least when we grow vegetables and fruits in our own garden, we know the conditions they go through. It's a nice post in the name of awareness.
