I grow lots of great food. Way more flavorful then anything you’ll ever get in a store. Main thing is I know what has happened to this food from seed to table. No idea what stuff from a store has been through. Also it keeps me busy and I’ve always loved growing things.
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chews your a$$ all day long.

Pwyse, what does God tell Adam after he ate the fruit of knowledge? Now we have men that dont till the ground, women who wont bare children, men who think they can, seems like the whole human race has gotten away from some pretty simple instructions. I wish God would have had Adam start with no till farming instead. Would have saved me a lot of headache on food plots lol.

The answer to your question is its a way of life. I enjoy growing things. I enjoy watching things grow. I enjoy providing for others. So you have found a way to do what you enjoy and make money from it? Yall sell the food off of your farm?

I enjoy just growing stuff. Fresh vegetables is just a bonus.
Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.
My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

Pwyse - I have a similar story. Grew up being “forced” to work in grandparents gardens and parents garden, which I hated. I swore I would never have a garden. A couple of years ago something changed and I decided to go the raised bed route.
I would say it is not a big money saver, but for me it is very relaxing and the vegetables are MUCH MUCH better than what we can buy AND I know where they come from. We choose a variety of things that we eat and can store.

we have a manageable large raised bed directly behind our house - the location keeps most animals away since they don’t like our dogs & know they’re around ... the convenience of opening the back door & snagging fresh veggies is awesome ... we grow to supply the main veggies we either need or are getting low on - we can a lot of stuff so we have a lot of cellared supply ...
fresh veggies just taste better - and it’s really not a tom of work so long as you plan/map out the size of your garden & stay on top of it ... we sowed collards last fall & they made all winter so we’ve got a ton in our freezer we can pull from at any time ...

Like some one said it’s a way of life that I’ve always done . It’s the one thing I look forward to every year . I have a big garden and grow lots of food . I can and lot freeze alot . Give to neighbors, friends a coworkers . An to my chickens what get to big to use . Have a small 12x16 greenhouse that I built for less than $300 . Start most my stuff in it back in feb . Have Heater and fan on thermostat. Almost every meal I eat has some food from my garden from squash, pickle, taters, onions maters an so on. It’s not very costly but reward is great . Maybe $200 a yr for seed, fertilizer, potting soil an diesel for tractor . . I can get 25 mater plants out of seed packet that cost $2.49 . I grow over 300 maters in greenhouse a give to at least 10 different family’s . Every day this week an going forward I’m picking some t from garden when home from work . Takes lot of my time but I love every minute of it . No telling at thousands I’ve saved on food cost over the years . Have 3 freezers an storm cellar getting full. I grow muscadines an trying grow grapes . Got bunch Arkansas black apple trees . Got 3 Alberta peach trees growing . If it can grow in my area I try to grow it . Some I have no luck . Other s I do really good . Trail an error an depending on weather . Next yr gonna try irrigation system . That’s gonna cost but worth it . I love growing garden more than hunting .

Thanks for the replies guys. I guess I'm old enough now that I've forgotten all the trauma that Maw Maw's garden caused. I might grow some stuff next year lol Grow what you and your family like to eat, give some away to neighbors, friends, family - make it fun for yourself. It's almost become an obsession to me - especially the growing from seed.

I'll dive in and bite off more than I can chew. I would like to get some of those sweet heat pickles going
