Fruits of Labor
Compared to other types of garden it might not look as great but a vegetable garden has a lot of advantages. Since I am inclined to cooking, I had an idea of growing my own vegetables. When they are already ripe I can just harvest instead of buying which will be cheaper. I can cut up with my grocery expenses. At least I can be assured that my food is fresh. It is also a great activity for the whole family.
The backyard is the perfect spot for my vegetable garden, it has rich soil and the sun is directly hitting it, in addition there is accessible water supply near it. Since I am just a beginner, I plan to have a small garden and to plant those which are easy to grow like to tomatoes, lettuce, squash, carrots, beans, beets, radishes, potatoes and broccoli. Hopefully I can keep up with the watering and weeding so eventually I can reap all the fruits of my labor
