Growing your own food from left over bits

Before I tried to plant bell pepper using the seeds from what I bought in the market. I planted them in empty milk cans. also, I plant some tomatoes, onions. Now I have varieties of trees planted in a large pail like chico, tamarind, and calamansi.

You're an inspiration! I have also been cultivating that idea in my head by it never sprung out of life. This idea is more out of the desire to go "green" and eco-friendly, rather than the need to produce our own food. My time-consuming and boring job keeps me from doing the things I wanna do. In other countries, they have what they call urban gardens or farms, situated inside urban housing units such as condominiums and buildings. Aside from the environmental benefits, urban gardens can be sources of fresh vegetables, and in a family, augment the food budget. What methods are you using? Conventional as in plain soil? or modern methods?

i am looking forward to pick the tomatoes from my yard! I too have grown veggies in my little forest. I have also planted lettuce and eggplant. Gardening.. It is so rewarding!

My dan and my lil bro doing gardening in the back yard. Im not good in gardening thing, but Im happy to see their palnts are growing well. They have cabbage, tomatoes, chili, ginger and some other vegetables. Sometimes our neighbour come to buy vegetables from my lil bro cos the proce is reasonable and the vegetables are fresh and free from insecticide.

That's a good idea and saves a lot of money. Many people use things that they get from the grocery store to grow. Some of them will grow really well and others don't do as well at producing. Mainly it's because the store bought vegetables are usually grown for consistency and are also hybrids. A good place to buy vegetables and even seeds to grow is health food stores. They are organic and usually come from farms that grow heirloom crops.
