My Mission

 

My mission is to get 5% of American's to grow one container of food. Your first thought will probably be what good will that do? The answer is not much. Someone said every journey begins with the first step. Did you know they by using the cut and come again method you can get two maybe three harvests from one container of lettuce?

Walmart, Kroger, and Other Grocery Stores Are Meeting With the White House to Address Shortages

The dishpan in this photo cost $2.00 at Target. People that that gardening is hard and expensive. It doesn't have to be. 

If you know where to look you can find seeds for as little as $0.25 a pack. I took this photo at Dollar General. Every January their seeds go on sale. Four pack for a dollar and sometimes 5 for a dollar. It is my belief that once you see how easy it is to plant one container you will duplicate the process then expand into other vegetables. 

 

About six months ago I planted one potato in a dishpan. Many people were surprised at the results. 

The potato was store brought so it didn't cost me any extra money. 

So let's add one more to the list Carrots. Just about everyone loves them. They can be grown in the same size container during the fall and winter months. By the way, these containers can be used indoors during the winter. Lettuce can be grown in 60 days, thirty days for radishes, and 90 for carrots. Would you be able to feed yourself or your family with a few containers? No, that would be silly however 

Would you be able to feed yourself or your family with a few containers? No, that would be silly however it would help offset the rise in your grocery bill and your food would be healthier without the chemicals.
