There is no reason you can't have your own food, grown the way you want, organically- Saving you money, saving your health, and even your community and the next generation!
Join the Revolution - TODAY - no excuses.
I started my first backyard garden last year, in a small space - with little knowledge, a will to save money on fresh organics and feed myself and my daughter a wholesome plant based diet - and it's still flourishing today with little maintenance.
Here are some photos of when we started our 1st garden last year, and the fruits of our labor by mid-Summer/late Fall 2012.

These seeds are cheap!
Cost should not be an excuse.
This is the garden in a small plot in the backyard in a
Mobil Home Park with minimal cheap materials
Lack of space is NOT an excuse!
A Lemon Tree ($22)
A Mandarin Orange Tree (right)
Cherry Tomatoes fresh from the garden -
how much do you think that amount of organic cherry tomatoes would cost at the store?
Fresh HUGE Beets - great for juicing and cooking!
Sweet Watermelon (personal sized)
More Cherry Tomatoes - Baby Carrots - Broccoli
*I couldn't believe how much Organic Broccoli florets cost at the store, so I made sure to try growing some in the
garden to save money - and it was super easy!
Just remember to water daily and grow in lots of sunshine (if possible) and let the happy bee's pollinate the buds!!
Nature does the rest :)

Chard
(Great for juicing and fresh salads or soups)
These beauties are still growing strong today,
and I haven't been watering as frequently, they still look very green and perky :)
