Turn Your Yard Into A Garden And Grow Your Own Food
More and more urban home owners and renters are turning to back and front yard farming. Why? Many are looking for a simpler life style and are concerned about the environment. They want to eat safe healthy food that isn't genetically modified and full of chemicals.
These urban framers have found the rewards far greater than the work involved to grow their own food. I can't help think and feel - These are exciting times to be living in. The things people are doing and accomplishing are amazing and inspiring.

- Wow, thank you for the mentions!
For me growing stuff is great physical exercise... I hate working out on a treadmill - it seems like such a waste of time..at least with gardening I am getting something useful done! Plus you cannot beat the taste of food that came from 10 feet away!

- No, I don't think it's a fad and it's here to stay. More and more people are choosing to take that route and it's encouraging to see. This is a fast-food generation and it's important that people get more serious about eating right and taking care of the environment. You did a great job in presenting this important topic - lensrolling to my Proper Nutrition, Diet, Exercise & Your Immune System lens.
