Eat Your Veggies, and Grow Them Too!

May 23, 2013 | Winona | Comments (0)

Mom always told you to eat your vegetables. Why not grow them too?

It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or if your thumb practically glows green, if you have a lot of garden space or just a little. Learn how to grow your own vegetables and you will enjoy the benefits of eating healthy, locally-grown food (it doesn't get much more local than your own yard, balcony, or windowsill!) and paying less than you would at the grocery store.
