Gardening is not easy. Whenever you have the opportunity to grow something take it! Learning how different plants grow and behave and what type of insects and disease gravitate towards a type of plant. Practicing now in times of peace will be invaluable during a long term event. Growing also gives you a chance of teaching your spouse or children to be more self sufficient and it’s a great way to exercise. This collection is the result of the volunteer tomatoes I harvested from our compost bin. Practice, practice, practice!

You’re on your way. Watch the behavior on the plant. Look for bugs or leaf changes. It a good idea to keep a journal logging when you planted, what changes are occurring and how you remedied the problems. Happy gardening!
