Last year I gardened because for the first time ever moved to a house (rented) and I had space. I figured I would give it a hand and had SO much fun with it. Growing up I had a garden here and there (my mother was a diplomat so we moved a lot) and I LOVED eating carrots fresh from the ground with dirt and loved fresh corn. So I had the space and went ahead and did what I could.
THIS year though - I went on a trip to Antarctica and have become deeply concerned with climate change and our world and I'm trying to reduce my carbon footprint and dependency of food imported and grow my own food so I expanded my garden big time this year. And this is why I garden.
