Thanks for checking out my Gardening Eats blog! My name is Martin and I am NOT a gardening expert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s right, like most of you, I am not an expert gardener. However, my goal is to learn as much as I can about gardening sustainably and ultimately become self sustaining, and I want to share my journey with people like you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This blog is focused on articles and videos related to growing (and regrowing) fruit and vegetables. While growing flowers is a great way to beautify your yard, I prefer growing plants I can eat! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever had an orange, apple, apricot, or pretty much any fruit or vegetables and thought “Wow, this is the best (fill in the fruit\/vegetable) I’ve ever had!” or “This tastes way better than the ones from the supermarket!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, my ultimate goal is to never have to buy another fruit or vegetable from the store. Why? Because it just tastes so much better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only that, the USDA estimates that 133 BILLION pounds of groceries are wasted each year<\/strong> which has an estimated value of $162 BILLION. That’s about 31% of available food supply. That’s the equivalent of 1.2 pounds of food that gets thrown away per person per day!<\/strong> That’s insane, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By growing our own fruit and vegetables, we can eat and grow only what we need and reduce the amount of food that gets wasted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join me on this journey becoming more environmentally-friendly and self sustaining, while getting to eat better tasting home-grown fruit and vegetables. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
