You can find ways of being more sustainable in almost every part of your life. I've found that creating a more sustainable food system to be one of the most interesting, fun, and rewarding you can try. You can participate in so many other ways, like shopping locally and seasonally, becoming vegetarian or vegan, choosing minimally processed products, and so much more. Today, I'll just be sharing my experience creating my own little vegetable garden, but if you want us to discuss those other topics, just let us know.
My Little Garden 2016
In Spring 2016, after spending way too much time falling into the gardening and allotment videos on YouTube, I decided to start my own little veggie garden. Growing interesting varieties of vegetables, organically and with the seasons really appealed to me. I set out with a bit of knowledge and a lot of pent up winter energy and created a cute little garden of veggies that ranged from peas to tomatoes to eggplants to peppers. Most of it was from store-bought plants, but I was proud of myself nonetheless. That was last year in the garden, which you can follow along with in these videos, which stop in July, sorry-- life got complicated. It was 2016 after all (the worst year ever).
Back in the Garden 2017
This year I kept up this gardening project and started everything from seed to some mixed results so far. It's July 2017 now and the garden is, against all odds, becoming a real garden. There peas to pick, a massive overload of lettuce, and the tomatoes I grew from seeds are blooming. It's so satisfying. Here are the videos I've produced so far this year (including one released just this morning). Expect new blog posts when there are new videos on the channel.
