Why I do this

Earth2Jenny
I am by no means an expert, I started my first garden in 2011 and had no idea what I was doing. It actually all started with Food Inc. (good documentary if you haven't seen it already) and seeing how bad commercialized farming has become and the huge amount of GMO's and processing used in today's food but I work full time and have a family so how would that work? But I looked into having my own garden and learned that anyone really can do this. Gardening is such little maintenance after it's started that it wouldn't make sense if I choose not to do this. Some stuff worked and some stuff didn't- I'm learning new things all of time and I know how frustrating is read-up and research to just get through the good stuff and what to worry about later! Hopefully I can help with that a bit.
