I was sitting at my dining room table over lunch, browsing through a Newsweek left there and eating leftovers when I stumbled upon an article that said there are now 43 million gardeners in the US.
Whoa! That's 7 million more gardeners than there were last year... that's a lot!
The article doesn't do more than guess that there are a number of reasons why people choose to garden vegetables -- edible gardening, according to the article.
I know that I started because I wanted the convenience of harvesting vegetables from my yard, rather than depending on a store. And it just tastes better in my opinion!
If you're a new gardener, good for you! I congratulate you on taking on what seems to be one of the toughest places to garden in the US -- Texas' seasons soil and weather can frustrate even the most seasoned gardeners. But if you love it, it's all worth it.
