A Couple Thoughts on Gardening

Here are a couple thoughts on gardening...
In this day and age of fast food, drive through ordering, and super markets filled with endless choices, why would anyone need gardening? One answer might be to know what to do, just in case, for some reason, later on, maybe in case of severe circumstances, we need to grow our own food. (One of those things that we never think we might need.) Anyway...a good reason to at least attempt gardening is to learn what it takes to make things grow. Remember when Ron first built our garden and planted some seeds- nothing grew very well. It turned out that the soil needed alot of extra nutrients to be able to produce anything. Now that he has that problem solved, we are actually harvesting food. Not a huge amount, but at least enough to be learning about how to garden. If Ron hadn't learned the whole "soil lesson" and we needed to grow our own food- we would have been very, very hungry for several months :) So my advice, is that if you ever think you might need to grow your own food- start practicing now. (Even if it's only a small plot) Now if I can get him to figure out how to grow chocolate cookies, ice cream, and cheese cake, along with the beets, carrots, broccoli and lettuce, we will be all set :) :)
