I'm staring a large garden. I'm tired of eating foods laced with toxic chemicals. [View All]

Just about all of my friends have created their own organic gardens. And because of a wonderful fellow DUer I became inspired to create my own. I'm tired of the constant horror stories of buying produce laced with dozens of toxic chemicals. I've decided to take control of what goes into my body and of those I care about. I am also going to try to start a community garden where people can all chip in to help and to share in the fruits of our labor.

It will help conserve energy, make our planet greener and provide quality food to sustain myself and my loved ones. While I was growing up my dad always had a garden and we grew up eating some of the best produce available. It was so satisfying to be side by side with my dad tilling the soil, planting the seeds and harvesting the crops. My mom and dad would can jars full of fruits and vegetabes to reduce wastes.

A lot has happened since those more innocent days. Life's demands grew and gardening fell by the wayside. But in a few days I am going to start building two large gardens. I want to thank all of those who inspired me, especially a dear DUer friend who gave me the most inspiration.

I'm going to record the progress through pictues so I can share them with others. Hopefully it will insipe others to reclaim control over what they are consuming and live more enjoyable and healthy lives.
