Plant your own food|| Entry for challenge #180

Here in our place, farming is the major source of livelihood. Way back in our childhood days and teenage days, we used to go to the garden to help our parents plant, cultivate,remove weeds,apply fertilizer, watering plants and harvest.
During vacation, we look for uncles and aunties that has a garden and we go to work and earn money.

But nowadays, we can't have a garden as main livelihood due to no owned land to cultivate. But we still jave a backyard gardening. Here in the Philippines, we are experiencing el niño in which we experienced shortage of vegetable supplies in the market and so expensive.
The Municipal Nutrition Council in coordination with our Barangay Council, they encourage is to establish our own backyard garden. Indeed,Backyard gardening helps a lot since, we are assured that our vegetables are free from harmful chemicals and will help us in sourcing out budget for our daily needs.In our backyard, we had camote, banana, calamansi, ginger, taro, pechay and beans.We also sell some to our neighbors and deliver some to store owners.and in the market.

Right now, we have camote or the sweet potatoe, we sell the camote tops.

Backyard gardening is benecifial, hence I recommend that each and everyone of us must have to establish your own backyard garden for food consume and also livelihood.

Big thanks to @sagarkothari88 for this community.

With the way food stuff are just becoming so expensive and with outrageous prices, the best thing is to really have a little garden to grow what you eat at least

Yes, this year the cost of seed and supplies have set me back over $200 CAD where I live with only a short growing season. Inflation has made all imported groceries much more expensive. Produce has been added unhealthy chemicals to preserve shelf life. The same reasons I thought about though I want to enjoy the process of enjoying what we cultivate. While it may save me some cash there are benefits that we can't put a price on @jhenrw. 🌱🍠
