I noticed on my recent Vietnam trip how good you get to feel when the option of eating natural and fresh is there. It really does make you feel a lot more fit. So indeed...living in an area where the harvesting options are big...that is pure wealth, since buying is not the main option anymore or getting resources.
Trying to grow here more myself, the winter season is challenging so trying option to grow stuff inside a bit more!
the industrial thing now is very terrible. even the packaging of vegetables has to use chemicals to prevent rot and reduce badness. so it is better if we can produce vegetables in our own garden
good luck with your garden 😊
