Growing Your Own Greens!

By admin | Lifestyle, Nutrition | No Comments

leafy-greens-pic-300x200 If you love delicious, fresh, nutritious leafy greens in your salads and green smoothies, there is nothing more rewarding then growing your own ‘leafy green’ garden to pick from each day!

We decided to start our own garden full of leafy greens about 4 months ago, and after spending less than about a day or so to set it all up, I was so surprised at how quickly our labour had paid off!

Within only a few weeks we had an abundance of lovely fresh leafy greens growing, and we haven’t had to buy any leafy greens ever since. (And we raid our garden for fresh leaves at least a couple of times every day!)

There is nothing better then picking fresh leaves from your garden just minutes before eating them!

Leafy greens are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to help you stay in a peak state of health. Leafy greens are also rich in the natural plant compounds called phytochemicals which have been shown to have a protective effect against certain types of cancer.

There’s nothing better for you then vegetables grown out of the ground, especially when they’re from your own backyard!

Once you have done the initial set up, there really isn’t a lot of work involved to maintain it… With just a bit of water each day and sunlight you can sit back and relax and let mother nature work her magic!

Each time I visit our garden for fresh leaves, I just pull out any little sneaky weeds that try to spring up and it has been quite easy to keep on top of it.

We have grown spinich, bok choi, pak choi, a whole heap of different varieties of lettuce (which have now gone to seed), as well as giant beetroots, tomatoes, cucumbers, chillies and all of our favourite herbs.

You can start with seeds or buy seedlings already growing (we did a combination of both). And if you don’t have enough room for a large garden bed you can easily grow so many things simply out of pots.

So have some fun and let us know how you go!
