My mum started growing her own veg - not much toms and a few herbs. I have mainly just grown flowers but moved out of parents house and bought my own house with a large garden. Started growing a few Veg, and as mentioned before on another post I have only really started eating veg for about 2 years! ( yes shocking I Know) I strated to realise the veg tasted different to the stuff I bought in supermarkets. I have also wondered what they actually but on our veg ( chemicals).
My sister-in-law had breast cancer a few years ago and was told while she recovered to try and eat organic food so she is eating fresh/less chemical food. I suppose since then I have always wanted to grow my own veg so I know what I am eating.
Hope that makes sense :-)
I didnt think I would own an allotment.
