Green Thumb At 60: How I Started My Gardening Journey With Raised Beds and Pots and Contrainers (en Inglés)
Reseña del libro "Green Thumb At 60: How I Started My Gardening Journey With Raised Beds and Pots and Contrainers (en Inglés)"
What we are experiencing right now in this country is a "food fight." So therefore, we need to fight for those who deserve saving, especially those that fought for us our entire lives. There is no one or nothing standing in our way to building sustainable, holistic and natural communities again throughout the land. I know this for a fact! You see I was raised on a farm in rural Georgia and everything my 8 siblings, my mother and father and I ate came from the land. We had several apple, pear and peach trees, cows, mules, pigs, chickens, etc. -- the usual things you find on a farm. We knew no other way of living, so despite many people today making all kinds of excuses for not growing foods, I know 'first-hand' we can get back to nature - back to our roots and start growing and eating delicious, home-grown foods again. At 60 years old -- many people would probably be too embarrassed to admit that they are finally growing their first garden - but not me. It's especially Seniors today that need to start growing their own foods because homegrown foods taste better; to make sure foods are safe to eat and are Non-GMOs; to fight diseases and keep down doctor's visits; to save money and cut down on grocery bills, and in order to have a healthier environment -- as they age. As an Empowerment and Motivational Speaker along with being a National GMO Health and Wellness Expert, I see growing my own foods as a necessity. And it's certainly nothing that people need to be embarrassed about - no matter your age. I wanted to grow foods successfully for one year before I wrote a book about growing foods. So this book is the completion of my own one year gardening journey. Despite the fact that over 40% of people stop growing foods after one year, my family is still going strong. I can't tell you what it has been like to be able to look out of our kitchen window of our own home and look at something we started from scratch - our own backyard, raised bed garden -- and now the count is up to three gardens. We can't bring this gardening project to an end without telling you first how successful it was. Remember your ultimate goal should be to educate yourself, your family and others in your own community. The goal is to teach everyone how to fed, clothes and shelter their own families.
