Consider-- My Garden

My garden has become somewhat of a hobby of mine for quite a few years. What started out as a Strawberry Topsy Turvy that went a wry, to the vast garden it has become, I really have put in some enjoyable work.  Some of the plants in my garden started off as seeds others we bought as younger plants.  Onions, Bell Peppers, Tomatoes, Oregano, Lettuce, and various flowers we all started as seeds.  The Onions have been the most beneficial home grown plant, we use chives cut from the stalk in a lot of the meals we prepare.  The Bell Peppers look like they will need to grow a little more before they will be used for eating.  But I can't wait to be honest.  I love bell peppers.

Although we are growing tomatoes from seeds, we also purchased a tomato plant too.  We use those tomatoes in our meals as well as the chives.  The other plants we've purchased are Strawberries, the Orange Tree, a Plumeria, an Aloe Vera plant, and  a Hibiscus.  Although I haven't yet, I'm tempted to learn the ways of making Hibiscus tea aka Jamaica Drink.  I know we'll never become completely self reliant, but I love the idea of picking fresh fruits and vegetables from my garden and prepare meals for my family.

The hibiscus isn't fragrant, but its very pretty to look at.  Our plumeria looks beautiful and smells equally nice.  And our Orange tree has finally blossomed and the smell is exquisite. 

And although I have no yard to plant my garden, I enjoy laboring daily to water my plants or to pick the fruit from them.  I hope you all might consider growing your own fruits and vegetables
