Vegetable gardening has been practiced for many years, although nowadays some people think that it’s easier to just go to the market and buy their vegetables.
To be honest, I was like that before: I didn’t have time and couldn’t be bothered, but now I am completely obsessed!
Seriously, after some time you will begin to think of the vegetables you grow as your babies.
It is really satisfactory, especially when you know how much time and hard work you put into the plants, and growing vegetables is the plant form of saying thank you for taking such good care of me!
Although it might come with a few expenses, growing your own vegetables will actually save you a lot of money on groceries in the long run.
