Our country’s present situation with this coronavirus outbreak, this national crisis has led the Filipinos, as well as the rest of the world, into this realization of the importance of food sustainability. We are now realizing how we should have been practicing home gardening even before this crisis.

And even though the local government units have been giving out these relief goods like rice, instant noodles, and canned goods to the people. It’s also become a growing trend, and a good trend at that – people are now growing fresh vegetables and seeds in their homes and backyards. So that they may have other sources of food and not just depend on the government.

Think about it, you go outside the garden and pick some juicy tomato, still warm from the sun. Pick up some carrots and lettuce, and take them inside, you then prepare a nice salad for lunch and dinner. I believe that growing your own vegetables is like one of those practices that balances sustainability and indulgence.

Aside from the convenience of just walking a little bit to get your fix for a salad or light supper outside your doorstep or right inside your apartment, when you grow your own vegetables, you’re definitely getting the most nutritional benefits for your money too. Did you know that vegetables start losing nutrients as soon as they’re harvested, and the quality becomes lesser as sugars turn to starches? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
