Nothing has grown faster over the past several years than the organic produce section of the grocery store. As more and more shoppers become aware of the benefits of eating organic, the availability of organic produce is far greater, but unfortunately, the price is also greater than non-organic options. One of the best ways to ensure that you’re eating quality organic produce without depleting your bank account is to grow it yourself. Planting your own organic garden takes time and effort, but it’s definitely worth it. Not sure you have what it takes? We can help! We’ve put together A Beginner’s Guide to Organic Gardening to help get you started on a growing journey you’ll love.
A Beginner’s Guide to Organic Gardening:
Write down the fruits, veggies, and herbs you use. It might be tempting to plant something that sounds exotic or fun, but you’ll get the most use out of your garden if you plant things that you are more likely to use. Basil and oregano are good to herbs to have on-hand for pasta sauces; rosemary is great on roasted veggies and breads; and peppermint and chamomile leaves can be dried and used for teas. (For more information on herbs and their uses, read 11 Incredibly Powerful Herbs and Their Uses.) Veggies like tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, lettuce, peppers, onions, chives, cucumber and zucchini are popular choices for home gardens. Strawberries and blackberries grow well in many gardens, too.
