And yep there are a tons of benefits.. I just can't understand people who think the math doens't 'add up.'<br /><br />Thanks Horst! Always great so see you!<br /><br />We have some funny measurements here, Liz. There are some great heritage vegs that you just cant find in the stores. Also the produce in the groceries around here is terrible. <br /><br />Exactly, Dave, but the math always works for me. <br /><br />Thanks Ann! I think folks just overestimate how much "work" it is... it always pays off for me. Easy peasy! And yes! Praise God for a full harvest! :-)Ohiofarmgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606563929369721111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-91764516328440631272013-09-25T21:01:10.495-04:002013-09-25T21:01:10.495-04:00I was thinking about this post yesterday morning a...I was thinking about this post yesterday morning as I was picking beans. I got a bushel of beans off of 2 rows. Got 3 more to do. Praise the Lord, as the bean crop earlier was a bust. You are so right. I am getting way more than the price of the bean seed. And we really don't have tons of time in them.

Also I find that I plant things that I would never ever buy, like kale and silverbeet, and raspberries, and completely strange things that you can't buy at all like jeruselum artichokes and spaghetti squash. Also you forgot that gardening is fun and you don't have to pay gym fees if you spend a few hours digging potatoes instead :) I can't believe people who "don't have time" or "it doesn't work out any cheaper" to garden. I think you just proved them wrong.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12874273438983052621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-77070955111343187792013-09-23T14:42:05.369-04:002013-09-23T14:42:05.369-04:00Great advise on getting a garden started, love you...Great advise on getting a garden started, love your blog.Horst in Edmontonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523290699599403329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-58362791480127612802013-09-23T10:44:04.732-04:002013-09-23T10:44:04.732-04:00What you say is so right!

And anyway, even if growing veg didn't pay for itself, you have to consider the other benefits - including the satisfaction and enjoyment that gardening provides (not to mention the fresh air!)Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-45320601224822502562013-09-23T10:01:35.981-04:002013-09-23T10:01:35.981-04:00You also know what's going into the crop.
