From potted herbs to full-on veggie gardens β€” or even fresh eggs from backyard hens β€” growing your own food can be rewarding, cost-saving, and fun! 🌱πŸ₯š

Do you grow (or raise!) anything at home? Maybe tomatoes, leafy greens, herbs, or eggs from chickens? Share what you’ve tried or what you hope to try.

Tips and pics are welcome! πŸ’¬πŸ“ΈπŸ‘‡

OMG! How do you keep up with all those fruits and veggies? That sounds amazing. I hope you feel better soon so you can tend to your plant babies!

I can't attend to my garden right now and I have been praying for rain. God has been sending it. I hope in a day or two, I feel better to do something. I have tomatoes, Bellpeppers, okra, cucumbers, squash, watermelon, eggplant. It has rained so and my gardener haven't been able to cut the grass. πŸ˜€

@A myHSteam Member - That sounds amazing! Peppers seem like such a great plant to have. We eat so many bell peppers in my house, I might as well start growing them πŸ™ˆ How do you manage to successfully grow plants even when you're not always feeling well?
