Grazing is what I believe to be the best thing about gardening. I can pick 25 or more of cherry tomatoes and only make it in the house with 10 or less. I love grazing in the garden. It's like having your snack without the toxins or hassle.😁 Oh yes it doesn't cost me anything. SWEETNESS ! SAVING MONEY AND EATING!!! What could ever be better.

I want everything to be fresh and to know exactly what is used when growing my fruits, veggies, and herbs. I want to make sure everything is organic for not only myself and hubby but for all my animals! I have allergies to an abundance of fruits! I can have cooked fruits and sometimes juices are raw and I don't realize it til my mouth gets tingly and itchy. Some fruits it doesn't matter so it's a safer bet for me! Also for mental health, being grounded to nature is so important! Also, the economy is crazy right now and it will work out better for us in the long run!
