Introduction

Growing your own food is one of the best things you can do for yourself, your family and the environment. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the information out there on organic gardening, but we’ve gathered some quick and easy steps to help you start growing:

Make it a family affair.

E.g., have your children help with planting and harvesting, weeding, watering, harvesting, cooking and cleaning up after dinner.

If you focus on organic food production in the spring, there will be plenty of work to do by hand. Having your children help with this process can provide a great opportunity to teach them about organic gardening and also give them some valuable life skills such as teamwork and responsibility.

Plan ahead.

It’s never too early to start planning for the spring growing season, and it’s never too late to get started on your garden either! Even if you’re not a seasoned gardener, it pays to think about what you’re going to be planting this year and begin preparing now. If possible, try and keep yourself organized by keeping track of what went well last year and what didn’t work out so well. That way when March rolls around (or whenever), you’ll already have an idea of what plants will flourish best in your region, whether they need certain amounts of sunlight each day or not, etcetera.

Grow everything from seedlings with repurposed containers.

• Repurposed containers are a great way to start your seeds. A lot of people don’t realize that you can grow plants from seedlings in many different kinds of repurposed items. The main thing to remember is that the container needs to be able to drain water, and it’s best if you can cover the top with something like plastic wrap or a lid so that sunlight doesn’t get onto your plant.
• After soaking your seeds overnight, plant them at least 1/4″ deep in soil (if you’re using potting mix) or simply place them on top of moistened soil in the repurposed container. Then cover everything with plastic wrap or another covering (for example, use a clear bowl over the top) and place this setup inside of an area where there’s indirect sunlight for about 14 hours per day (for example, near a south-facing window). You’ll need to check this setup often throughout spring and summer; keep it watered but not overwatered; monitor temperature levels; fertilize when necessary…and wait! Within two weeks you should see sprouts emerging from your seedlings’ little trays—and then watch as those little guys start growing into big ones!

Build your own greenhouse for year-round gardening.

If you want to grow food all year long, building a greenhouse is the way to go. Greenhouses can be built from scratch or using recycled materials such as old windows and scrap wood.

Follow these steps to build your own greenhouse:

• Plan out the dimensions of your greenhouse with graph paper or cardboard boxes before starting construction so that you know where everything will go and how big it should be. Make sure you leave enough room for racks where plants can hang down from above (or use soil beds), as well as space for growing vegetables in pots on tables underneath if desired—this will make it easier for people who are short on time but still want access to fresh produce!
• If using recycled materials like windows or scrap wood, measure them carefully before cutting them down so they fit correctly into place after being placed over top of each other; alternatively, just look at plans online (such as those found here) before starting anything else…

Grow food in your small yard with raised beds.

If you have a small backyard and want to grow some of your own food, or if you’re just looking for some fresh ideas on how to improve the soil in your garden, consider building raised beds. Raised beds are easy to build and can be made from various materials that can suit almost any budget. One of the most popular methods is using wood pallets as the base of the bed. You can also use bricks, cement blocks or even old tires!

Find a farmer’s market or CSA to support all year long.

Another option for finding organic food is to find a Farmer’s Market or CSA near you. A farmer’s market is an outdoor market that sells locally produced food and crafts. You can find them in most cities, even if they’re not every day of the week. A CSA is a community supported agriculture organization that delivers seasonal produce directly to your door!

If you live in an area where no markets are available, then do some research online and see what other options exist in your area. This can include ordering online from local farms or farmers who grow their own produce on their own land rather than buying it wholesale from other farms like Whole Foods does (but not all stores do this).

Keep the garden going by starting an indoor winter garden.

You can grow plants indoors, too! If you don’t have the space or time to maintain an outdoor garden, keep the good times going by starting an indoor winter garden. You can grow plants in a greenhouse, planter, window box or pot on your porch.

The great thing about growing your own food is that it doesn’t take much money and only a little bit of effort. Try getting creative with containers and find something that looks nice on your balcony or patio!

Planting, growing and keeping an organic garden is easier than you think!

If you love gardening and are looking to get into organic food, you’re in luck! You can grow your own organic foods anywhere, from a small backyard or even inside your house.

In this blog post we’ll discuss how to get started cultivating your own organic garden, no matter where you live or what kind of space you have available for planting.
