Does anyone know the real reason people garden? Why do you want to garden and grow vegetables? Most surveys show that the majority of people who garden say they want that special homegrown flavor
and the satisfaction of growing their own vegetables. Others grow their own food to save money, and still other people garden just to have a nice hobby that provides pleasure and pride. The pleasures of
gardening are many—getting outdoors, exercising, putting your hands in the soil, growing things, and the special pride of accomplishment that comes with the harvest. Many gardeners want to experience the feeling of being self-sufficient or at least partly so.
