Grow your own food

“I remember one evening in the summer, I gathered tiny basil leaves and cherry tomatoes from my garden. I drizzled olive oil and added just a pinch of salt over my produce. In each bite, I tasted sun, soil, and joy. That’s the difference between store-bought and garden-fresh.”

“But whatever I grow out there, whatever my storage methods, I will never be able to eat out of the garden through the winter. Truthfully, I don’t even save much on the grocery bill in the summer. Because, it must be noted, the vegetable garden only produces vegetables. While veg is nutritionally essential, with exception made for some roots and squash, it is not particularly high in calories. It doesn’t feed you, fuel your cells, give you energy.”
