Chard.

Very easy to grow and tough

Spring onion

This one is probably the easiest. When you buy from supermarket, you can plant the botton part with roots on the pot or ground and it will grow back

Sweet potato.

For this one we eat the leaves . Grows really fast and can spread all over the garden

Nice to see more of your garden you guys gots lots of vegatables

thank you bitcoinman, yes my goal is to never have to buy vegetables again

Does the weather permit in your location or will you need a greenhouse ?

Simply amazing @djohan i love the idea of plant our food and eat organic because now we eat a lot of food very processed or with too much chemicals i would like to have a big space to plant many things because the weather of my country colombia is great to plant fruits and vegetables. Regards

thank you dim753, yes there are a lot of chemicals in vegetables that we buy, and the organic ones cost a lot of money. You can read some articles about planting in smaller space, like vertical farming

Nice garden. I loved the book Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew and made my own containers for growing vegetables. Unfortunately, I have a lot of critters in my neighborhood so that makes gardening a challenge. I have to take extra measures to protect my crops, but growing fresh organic food is more than worth the effort. I especially love my orange and lemon trees because they're very productive and require practically no effort.

thank you gtrplayer, yes lemon trees are easy too, i never take care of my lemon trees actually, they just grow by themselves and provide abundance of lemons. I also made the containers myself, it was quite fun, so i made alot

Looks yummy! Heathly choices!

thank you emilymichelle, there are still some more i will post later

Perfect timing to share your healthy ways and thank you. My latest blog post — Dr. Gundry would give you an A+ for your garden. Very healthy indeed :-)

thank you floridanow. it's quite fun to do actually. Still a lot to learn and improve

Something to learn for you and your family your whole life....what a gift to give.

wow! lots growin! nice setup

thank you do it voluntarily, it feels satisfying not having to pay for food.

i bet!😄

I love Bok Choy stir fried in Chili Sesame oil and an egg.

thank you azfix, i will try to cook it that way. I have lots of Bok Choy

I didn't know you had such a green thumb! I have been watching a lot of YouTube (as always) and I stumbled on this one guy named "Jeb The Gardener" he is hilarious and makes it SUPER simple to do little hydroponic setups. He grows a small head of lettuce out of a mason jar with no added water and only a 6 watt light :-D

thank you hotsauceislethal, i tried hydroponics and aquaponics, but it was harder than i thought. It's hard to keep long term unless you feel it's fun and easy. I'll check 'Jeb the Gardener' video. Maybe he has an easier solution. Thanks

I love bok choy...I like to add in my noodle soup very tasty

thank you julee, yes it is one of our favorite veges, last year we had too much, as it grows fast, now we are planting some more varieties of other veges

Am challenged to do some farming too. I really need to grow my food. Thanks @djohan for sharing.

thank you yohan2on, it feels great to see the veges growing everyday. You can start with 1 small planter and easy to grow one

Great friend , nice to see you have vegetable plants in your home . Very good

thank you pardeepkumar, yes it is healthier and we can save money too

pretty garden friend you can share with us step by step how to do it

thank you enriqueig, you only need to plant the seed and water it for few days and it will grow

Nice idea to grow your own food (vegetables). It give you advantage of eating fresh food, source of oxygen for your family and you also save some money by cultivating.

thank you kamchore, yes we should be independent on food because it is our basic need

Absolutely right. More over fresh/hygenic is not easily available at market. Greenery all around also calm you and give you Sense of satisfaction

@djohan, You grow vegetable plants very faster. I'm very interesting to see that. Very soon we have to see massive productivity.

thank you madushanka, i am hoping to never have to buy vegetables in the future

Yes gogogo I'm a big supporter of Organic veggies!!
