Do you buy your vegetables

I have always just bought my vegetables, but I would really like to try growing them sometime. It seems like it would be helpful to save a little money, and it would be nice to have really fresh vegetables! It would be sort of fun to cook with the vegetables knowing you grew them yourself. :) My husband and I will be moving in the near future, but I think that when we get settled in, I would like to try growing some of our own fruits and vegetables.

My grandpa has a big yard and he grows many vegetables and this is a hobby for him. Not only for eat but also for fun.

I have an apartment with a balcony so we do grow some. I am hoping to get one of those Aerogardens to help supplement the vegetables that we buy.

I would love to grow my own vegetables, but I live in an apartment and I don't even have a balcony. I've tried growing them indoors, but there were a ton of problems. I have been able to grow herbs indoors, though. But, things like tomatoes, spinach, etc, didn't do well and were a mess. So, I buy all my vegetables. Luckily, the store where I buy them have really fresh produce at good prices.

I usually buy our fruit at the farmers markets here or directly from the farmers when in season. They are much fresher, taste better and helps the farmers out.As for the vegetables, we grow them in our yard. My husband and I do this every year and it is almost time to plant now. We will be roto-tilling the garden a little later today and maybe starting to plant our red, yukon gold and white potatoes today. Next weekend we will go to a farmers market and buy starter plants of broccoli,cauliflower, cabbage, lettuce,pepper, zuccini,yellow squash,pumpkin and 3 types of tomatoes from the Farmers and plant them. We also plant by seed our cucumbers, green (bush) beans,yellow beans, carrots, radishes, turnips, peas and I think that is it. I also have garlic,rosemary, dill and mint which are planted by the fence to help keep varmints out along with the flowers. We have friends and family that like to come over and help plant and harvest and they gt to take what we reap home too. It is a friendship garden and our hobby.

I prefer to grow my own, but most of the year I have to buy them from the store! I will buy frozen and fresh vegetables. I remember the wild scallions growing back east! Tey do not seem to be wild here on the west coast! We do get fruit from trees that friends and neighbors have, sometimes, and other times we have to buy frozen and fresh!

Yeah, I buy them. I was @ walmart the other day and wanted to get a few potted plants... like cukes & tomatoes. I live in an apartment, so I could have a little potted garden on my balcony LOL.

I wish I could grow my own but living in an apartment...it just isn't going to happen. I do plan to visit the Farmer's Market this summer though...I would prefer fresh veggies and fruits over store bought any day of the week. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

Wish I did have room to grow my own as it costs to uy then and I use a lot of veggies in my health plan. I do get some breaks as I have a Von's club card so get discount of my produce and they really are pretty good discounts too.I love onions as you can do so much with them.I buy onions and carrots and potatoes in five lb lots so they are cheaper that way and I love to make stews with meat and veggies.

Yes, I buy all my vegetables and fruits. I think t's nice to grow some vegetables and fruits in the garden but our place is not suitable for gardening. I have tried planting some, but it eventually dried. Some survived but it is not of good quality. I don't think I have green thumb too. So, I think it is better for me to buy. I can choose the ones which are fresh and of good quality.

I grow as much as I can myself. I'm very lucky and we have lots of land, but it's something that's really important to me and I used to grow some things even when I had far less space. I grow my own because of the cost but also because I can control what conditions they grow in and because I enjoy it. Last year we were able to be self sufficient in most vegetables and fruit from late Spring through till about Novemeber which was the first time we've had so much. It was a lovely feeling, eating a completely home produced meal. This year I am a little behind but the garden is all prepared, just awaiting seedlings. I think I will buy some which is cheating but a good option at this stage.

we don't have enough space in our backyard in order to plant our own vegetables so we just usually buy them in the market

yes we do

i buy the fruit because i have money and is very good from stash

I live in a condo and my balcony faces North so nothing grows, I have tried a few time. I am fortunate my son and wife have a tiny back garden in the middle of a big city. We plant 4 or 5 tomato plants each year and a hill of zuccini and one of pole beans. The pole beans don't take up much room because they are planted in a little circle with three poles in the middle. Last year we had masses of beans and lots of fresh tomatoes but the squirrels and racoons destroyed most of the zuccini. Small gardens are a lot of fun, you should try and start with a few plants. Best of luck.

My parents have a huge garden and in the summer I'm lucky enough to get tomatoes, peppers, greens, cucumbers, and zucchini. Usually though I buy fruits and vegetables at the store. Food prices are definitely going up. I wish I had enough sunny land to have a nice garden of my own.

we own a farm in the place where i was born and raise, its a province and the main source of income of the people there are through farming, yes we plant all our vegetables there, we nurture them and sell the crops. its just too bad that we left my hometown and move into the city many miles from our old house. the farm is still okay anyway but we are not the one planting them now, we hire somebody to do the job.

i grow my own vegetables and fruits. bcoz we hv lots of free space for growing it. and i like planting or i can say dat its my hobby.

doing a garden and growing your own vegies is a great way to save on extra expenses and it can be a stress relief being out in your garden and keeping it up to reap the benefits from it when you "harvest the fruits of your labor." an old proverb that is a great idea with the wild onions they grow every where and most of the time we just mow them over and dont even think about it as being something you can use in a soup or anything else. little ideas like these can add up to a good savings if more people had other ideas as well that you could put to use picking blackberries is a good way to make different snacks to Plant some fruit trees like apples or oranges or pears.

Hi, yes, we buy vegetables in the supermarket. I would love it if we can plant our own but that is not possible since we live in the city. On the contrary, on the province we have some plants, vegetables and even fruits there like "tomatoes, ampalaya, mangoes, cabbage" etc...
