Oh how I’m looking forward to our vegetable garden. Currently I’m watching the “winter storm of the century” just beginning out my window with the promise of at least a foot of snow. UGH. Last summer I grew garden lettuce for the first time and (no joke) I ate lunch out of the garden at least two months strait! Admittedly I did get a little tired of lettuce lol but that did mean our little garden paid for itself many many times over! I can’t wait for dirt and lettuce and gardening again!

The cost of living crisis is biting everyone on the behind right now and the uncertainty surrounding food shortages since the COVID-19 pandemic has left many of us feeling like we are floating in the wind – not knowing what’s coming next is tough. There is far less stability than there ever has been and most people feel that urgency to start a garden and really become self-sufficient.
If you have ever been in the position where you are worrying about your ability to feed yourself and your family, you should think about whether you should start your own garden. For some people, investing in shed bases to install a new shed or greenhouse can be the first step into growing your own food. If you haven’t done this before, it can be a little difficult to get going, but learning how to grow your own food can really be the thing you need most. So, if you’re new to getting started with your own garden, here are some tips to help!
If you want to have your own chosen fruit and veggies, start by growing your own garden and choose to plant the things you love the most.

A few years ago, I started a veggie garden, and I really loved watching it grow, and being able to eat what I grew. I got so sad after it all was gone though, and I had to replant again.
Hi Alexandra yeah every year its so much fun to plant and care for it and then FINALLY be able to eat what we grew!
