I had an allotment, the UK equivalent of a victory garden, for many years. It cost me £12 ($24) a year and I produced so much I was giving it away. I found it hard but rewarding work, but now that I am getting older I have scaled down. I gave up the allotment and grow in my garden, often planting in the flower beds. I never grow enough to freeze now, but it surprising just how much I can produce. If you are trying to eat healthily or loss weight, cut and come again salad crops can be produced in a tub.<a class="user" href="http://www.fromtots2teens.com/obesity.html">http://www.fromtots2teens.com/obesity.html</a>
Urban gardeners with little space have long believed they cannot grow much. But a new book challenges that limitation, showing you how to produce 10-20% of your own fresh food in an apartment, condo, townhouse, or small home. It's called "Fresh Food From Small Spaces" by R.J. Ruppenthal. Winning rave reviews, and I have to say it's really inspired me to try some new things like veggie growing, sprouting and fermentation.

No, not if you don't use the organic method.Whether it's being part of a community run garden, or setting aside a plot of land in your own back yard, growing your own vegetables is now a returning family pastime. So, where are the benefits from the time and labor spent to reap the golden harvest?<a class="user" href="http://www.gomestic.com/Gardening/Why-Grow-Your-Own-Vegetables.18465">http://www.gomestic.com/Gardening/Why-Grow-Your-Ow ...</a>Why Grow Your Own Vegetables

I have been growing food, mostly for fun more than savings. And for the taste. Anyway, I decided to make a group on growing food, so if you have relevant food growing sites then you can add or vote for them on my page at <a class="user" href="http://www.squidoo.com/groups/growing_food">http://www.squidoo.com/groups/growing_food</a>Cheers,Danny
