Some things you can't find there as well and that is an added plus. So far this year we have harvested around 35 pounds of onions from the winter, several dozen cloves of garlic, enough peppers to pickle 8 jars of jalapenos, 10 pounds of roma tomatoes from the first round of plants, countless eggplants. All from a 1/10th acre garden in an urban setting. if we all did it we WOULD change the world.

I heard somewhere that the cost of groceries has gone up 100% in the past year; at least here in Canada. We will need to find more and more areas to grow our own food, especially if we are in confined living such as apartments or have tiny lots. I know there are ways to grow a garden almost anywhere (small greenhouses, tire gardens, hanging gardens)... if there is a way to grow our food we need to find it to avoid the high cost of living.

I have grown my own veg for years and it saves me a fortune especially with todays prices. Away from the money aspect the actual taste and joy of growing your own organic food is great. Now how on earth will we ever get the purple carrot back? If only we could all grow a garden that sprouted money!!!

Also I would suggest growing garlic, it has great medicinal qualities and is very easy to go. Need cool climate. Also for people with little space, why not try hanging baskets. They are great and save bending down some much and they don't get so many weeds, or voluntary plants (I love that expression).

It took me a few years to learn how much of what grew and how much I could use. I think my first year of gardening I had so many cucumbers we had them growing out our ears and there were so many tomatoes waisted we just couldn't eat enough and keep them picked. This year I have cut back on both those things and planted more carrots and green beans cause that is something we didn't get enough of. Very good article!
