Spring is just around the corner and that means getting that vegetable garden started. My wife loves to garden and I love the savings it yields us by growing our own vegetables and fruit each year.
The fruit is easy, we have 2 apple trees and one pear tree and raspberry bushes in our yard. The vegetables on the other hand take a little more patience. This year we are growing most of the vegetables we will need; tomato’s, cucumber, broccoli, carrots, peas, peppers, celery and lettuce.
Tomorrow here in Toronto is the third annual Scarborough Seedy Saturday. This is a great little event where you can meet fellow gardeners, trade tips and attend workshops. Trade seeds with other seed savers and of course purchase some as well. There will be a kids zone for your little ones to play so they don’t get too bored talking about seeds all day as well as a Live Green Toronto booth where they will be educating interested people in how to green your neighborhoods.
Spring is upon us. Grow your own veggies and fruit. The best food to eat is the food you grow yourself, no pesticides, no corporations, no travel time etc, etc etc.
