Why I garden:

1) The food can be better see tomatoes.

2) The food may be impossible to find anywhere else, giving you varieties, flavors, qualities that no store is selling.

3) It is an act that connects us to all our ancestors and connects us what it is to be human; that we have been adapted/ created/ evolved for. Not gathering /growing / preparing your own food is a modern invention that is inhuman in a literal sense. “human” should be what our species does and have been doing since there have been humans. And for 99% of human existence, it did something that is closely resembled by gardening.

4) As Should be surprising to no one, that doing an activity that resembles what your species has done 99% of it’s existence feels good and is relaxing

5) I develop skills which are practical in a disruption to modern life

6) I spend less currency feeding myself

7) Done well the nutrient recycling from waste streams (composting) to gardens, is the equivalent of growing money. #gardening #grownostr
