Life in the city 'sometimes' sucks.
Usually, nothing special happens only with watching, actually the magic needs an action.
So I've decided to start my own 'urban farming', plant some seeds and see what's going on. Hopefully, my little experiments of the apartment food growing, will bring me organic fresh produce or at least more of the oxygen into my home.
Organic food growing is a really serious matter. Have you considered that eating everyday genetically modified and pesticide poisoned food from the supermarkets, will one day bring a catastrophic effect on your life quality?
There is no point to fight against the big companies. Those who buy them the food, are we people.
Every little decision you take, can make a huge difference. Because we all are the same chain.
Growing your own ecological food can be fun and you can learn a lot of new things about how to grow plants, indoor herbs, vegetables and fruits; besides you will become aware of the huge job hidden behind a basket of healthy, organic and fresh food.
The real organic food tastes differently, it makes you stronger and independent from the queuing in the fast food shops.
Many culinary professionals and food lovers fancy growing their own herbs and spices for the very fresh gourmet taste. The secret of the homemade food is in the ingredients, time and love. Nowadays, with the lack of time for anything, cooking has become a luxury leisure activity.
In the end, we are what we eat.
At some stage of your life, you will understand that food is what keeps you alive.
Growing organic food can be a relaxing therapy, too.
The process is simple yet very enjoyable.
Plant a seed, water and take care of it, and wait for the harvest.
In between, patience, music, water and sunlight.
I know most of the times, unfortunately, your harvest is not going to cover even your needs, but to be honest, it's so charming to have plants and herbs around that only with that one can feel better for a moment.
This is my little home grown chilli pepper from the seed. I didn't obtain stunning results but I proudly harvested from one seed at least 20 new seeds to plant the next spring. My food growing is consistently becoming more realistic.
It's not about how it starts but how it continues …
Ecological home garden is similar to having a pet. I named my pepper as Santiago.
Benefits of growing your own herbs and vegetables - home food
We actually don't need to put labels on such as ecological food, organic vegetables, bio fruits… it's as simple as to call it "home food". We know that home food is good.
The best plants, herbs and vegetables to start with
Don't complicate it too much at the beginning. You can perfectly start your growing experiments with herbs, chilli peppers, avocado or indoor plants.
Pots, containers, watering and light - take care of your alive part of the home
This is your opportunity to start to recycle all the containers left to throw away from the massive food industry. Packagings, plastic bottles, yogurt pots, ice cream boxes, etc. Get some ideas about how to reuse plastic recipients here.
Plants and herbs as a cool decor
There is no doubt if I say that plants rock the design. They look gorgeous, they create your oxygen and increase the vibes in your home.
Please do not grow anything if any of these apply to you:
- If you want to keep perfect your freshly done nails, then this won't be a distressing activity for you.
- If you have a really bad memory and cannot remember to water the plants every 2-5 days. If you can't feed them, then better don't have them.
- If you have cats and other playful pets, be careful what you grow and check the stability of the pots.
And there is one more thing left to say, enjoy your eco home gardening and contribute with your seed to protect and improve your life quality!
