Grow Organic Vegetables By Vince Apps, Fri Dec 9th
There are more reasons than ever why anybody with access to afew square feet of the outdoors should grow their own organicvegetables. You may be shocked at how much of the produce at your localsupermarket has been genetically modified. Some estimates nowput this at over 50%. While there is no strong evidence thatgenetically modified foods are immediately harmful to yourhealth, there are no long term studies either. Do you want totake that risk? Let’s take a look at pesticides and fertilizers. Farmers nolonger use crop rotation or natural manures to improve soilfertility, so they are forced to use ever increasing amounts ofchemicals to improve yields and multiple pesticides to protectthe weakened plants. Pesticides penetrate deeply into the leavesof plants and pestiside residues remain even after you havescrubbed them.
To quote from The Environmental Protection Agency – “Pesticidesare designed to kill pests. Many pesticides can also pose risksto people. The health effects of pesticides depend on the typeof pesticide. Some, such as the organophosphates and carbamates,affect the nervous system. Others may irritate the skin or eyes.Some pesticides may be carcinogens. Others may affect thehormone or endocrine system in the body.” Sure you can, and should, buy organic fruit and vegetables buthave you seen the prices? Anybody with even a modest vegetablegarden can grow healthy organic vegetables at much lower costthan those at the local supermarket. Not only can you grow themat much lower cost, but you can grow them one hundred percentbetter. Even the long-keeping vegetables such as potatoes, onions andsquash are noticeably tastier picked straight from the homevegetable garden; but when it comes to peas and corn and saladvegetables- well , there is absolutely nothing to compare withthe

home garden ones, gathered fresh, in the early slantingsunlight, still gemmed with dew, still crisp and tender andjuicy, ready to carry every atom of savory quality and taste,without loss, to the dining table. It is not in price or healthalone that home gardening pays. There is another point.Agribusiness has to grow the things that give the biggest yield.They have to sacrifice quality and taste for quantity and longshelf life. You do not. The strawberries on the supermarketshelves may look bright and red and uniform but you will soonfind they taste more like the cardboard of their containers whencompared to a home grown variety picked straight from the vine. And this brings us to what may be the most important reason youshould garden. It is the cheapest, healthiest pleasure there is.Give me a sunny garden patch in the springtime, give me seeds towatch as they find the light, plants to tend as they take holdin the fine, loose, rich soil, give me succulent and tastyspringtime salads. And when you have grown tired of thespringtime, come back in summer to even the smallest garden, andyou will find in it, every day, a new vista, new pleasures and,yes, new challenges. Better food, better health, better living -- all these the homevegetable garden offers you in abundance. So, turn off thatcomputer, pull out some old clothes and find a spot to dig.
