Anythangs good if you wrap it in bacon.???

Well I don't eat canned or frozen vegetables, fruits or foods... And I never buy ground herbs since I tend to do that myself when I need to use them - better flavour that way.

And vegetables and a lot of our fruits, we tend to grow a lot of what we eat ourselves, especially thinks like salads, tomatoes, carrots, beans and peas, etc. My father has a very productive garden and he gets a lot of vegetables and tropical fruits (usually in spring and summer) out of it and I get about a box full every week when he comes to visit.

Either way, we always eat fresh vegetables and fruit. So in that sense, I'm good.

You can get amazing pots nowdays, for growing herbs and even vegetables. I used to grow my own herbs and salads when I lived in an apartment in the city, way back in the day.

My father has an absolute passion for it. And his garden isn't big. It's litterally just the back corner of their bush block, which is a steep block of land and where they had to terrace the part behind the house. He found it too difficult to maintain a garden and grow flowers there and he could not drag a lawn mower up there, so he utilises those terraces as his vegetable garden. The flat parts of yard around the house itself and the areas they entertain in, etc, are shaded by fruit trees and flower beds, etc.. and amongst those, he grows a lot of his herbs. And he finds that much easier to care for than if it was grassy terraces, for example. It kind of takes care of itself mostly now. He potters around in it, weeds don't grow because it is so heavily mulched, etc.. It's just picking to ensure continued growth during the season. And when the crop is nearly done, he lets some ripen completely and he's got his seeds for the next season. It's a very productive little garden. And his attitude is literally 'grows what will grow'. So it is all seasonal.
