Spinach sells for 3 bucks for a rather small bag at the local grocery. Red bell peppers cost a little less than 2 bucks a piece.
My bell peppers I grew from seeds saved last year and they are easily grown indoors in front of a window. The spinach cost about a buck, and I grow it all year too.
I don't know why more people aren't gardening, since the prices of food are going up so quickly.
exactly. The reason more people aren’t gardening is, culture. They were raised on Vons, Ralphs, Albertons, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, etc. The concept of them spending 1 hour each day in their front or back yards gardening rather than mowing the lawns (A total waste) or playing their video games (An addiction of teenagers to the early 40’s crowd). I lined my property with apple trees, and have planted my winter garden already. I am making my greenhouse out of the framing of a 10x20 car cover i got for free off craigslist. It’s lined on the bottom with cement blocks (Another free item from craigslist) and I’m building a potty shed/grow room out of free pallets. I’m repurposing many materials, saving money and reducing costs, and eating healthy.
