I am planning on doing that. I have a huge backyard with so much potential. I just need to learn about gardening...I have had this house since Aug of 07 so it is all new to me. Remmy, I grew up around cactuses..LOL!

It's fun, a lot of work, and the rewards are GREAT! Very educational too.

Secondly like I mentioned, one can lose weight, so far I have lost 20 pounds since my greenhouse was completed! :)

I suggest start off with a small garden to see how you would like it. Also plant your favorite fruit and vegetables that you know you would eat. It doesn't hurt to mix some vegetable plants next to a flowering plant due to insect control.

You can try a box garden, or if you really want to put a lot of sweat in to it--till your own land.

Good luck!

Yea thing can be scary about food and now I wonder today people start think how many kid they can have into their life...

We can plants who lives in apartment, they have hang thing and the plant grow out the bottom like on commerical tv you see?

I was thinking about that sometime because it nature and health... however, I don't know what else to look about that price food and thing. It is reason why we are face and decide to what where we wants to live and patience with people that live in apartment or same street.

The one problem I sight to see people who abused. Once abused and the price is up... Should we destroy that person for cause everything like we are point at Bush?

It just something to think of...

It has already affected our decision of having more kids. We decided not to have another one cuz of all the rising costs. Pretty sad, isnt it?

If one lives in a apartment with several pots, they can grow their food from seeds even in the winter due to the warmth of the apartment and lighting as well.

Yeah it's to each and it's own preferences. :)
 
I know I dont eat out near as often as I used to and alot of times I decide to just wait until I get home before I eat something, sometimes if it means waiting all day then fine.

But it is going to be ridiculous when people find themselves standing in soup lines like they did during the Great Depression for their one meal that day and likely not that filling. Those who were born during the Depression were known as the 'stunted generation' due to poor nutrition during their childhood. (unusually small for their age due to a lack proper nutrition).

My grandmother pulled out my Grandfather's Navy Uniform from WWII - he was the equivalent of a size 00 in women's he was that thin when he went in the war. He was like 5'6 or 5'7 and barely weighed 100 pounds. YIKES. Sometimes I wish I could be that skinny but the reality is that he wasnt skinny on purpose - he was skinny because he really wasnt getting proper nutrition.

This point in your link is one that is becoming a serious problem in the States:

"Farmers are moving their crops from food to potentially more lucrative biofuel crops."

Obviously, biofuels are not the long-term solution to petroleum products. It won't do us any good to have cheaper fuel if there's no food to eat.
 
Hey, speaking of growing food on our own...I saw a commercial about Hanging Tomatoes and it allows people to grow food anywhere, including those who live in condos or apartments.
 
We planted tomatoes this weekend and deer ate the all last night. Big surprise, I thought tomato plants themselves were poisonous.:rl:
