Early-Summer Organic Garden Tour
* CLICK SHOW MORE * Today, I am very excited to take you on a 23-minute tour of my entire early-summer organic garden! Over the last 25 years, I have poured ...
After over 20 years of growing and gradually expanding his garden, yesterday, my father-in-law caved into pressure from some family/his friends and he decided to record a video tour of his garden. I jokingly say that his garden resembles a paradise of sorts...almost like something you'd expect to see on the other side of the pearly gates.
Very unfamiliar and inexperienced with the 'gardening scene', he has been a great reservoir of knowledge and experience, and we have been talking quite a bit about his garden.
He doesn't speak about this in his video, but, we have talked about all the cost/financial savings involved with growing a garden. I love my steak and dairy, but, he also swears by a plant-based diet/lifestyle, courtesy of his garden...I would definitely have to do more research in this regard, but he at least says that he has seen drastic improvements in his health and quality of life since implementing that type of lifestyle--I could certainly see a 'cost savings' there.
Honestly, it really seems like one of the best investments a person can make.
So, I'm curious....who here has their own garden?
Have you had your garden for awhile?
Could you talk more about the challenges, and benefits (financial? health? etc), that you have encountered when growing/cultivating it?

I got into vegetable gardening a few years back. I never really bothered with "flowers", though my wife does to a degree. We hit August and it's a free grocery month. Picked up a flock of backyard hens, too.

My wife got me into it, as an adaptive Reconditioning activity she had read about.
We started small and exploded from there. Now fill two freezers every summer, saving our family thousands a year in produce bills; and share our excess with family, friends and neighbors.
We've had 20+ local families come through and pick this week.
It is a worthy investment, and a great skill to have.
