I’m so happy that people are starting to consider how to improve their health right now! So many people are starting to grow their own healthier food that it’s hard to find seeds to plant!! And for several weeks, tower garden seedling suppliers were out of stock.
When the pandemic hit and so many people were confined to home, they looked for 
interesting things to do to keep busy. Families with children at home used gardening as science projects. As the virus spread and before we knew as much about why it was spreading, people were concerned about how many hands had touched the produce before purchase. Many of them turned to gardening as a way of sourcing really clean, fresh, easy-to-grow produce like lettuce, kale, chard and tomatoes.
I always have loved gardening partly because my Mom was raised on a farm in Pennsylvania and I always say that gardening is in my DNA. Everywhere we lived even in a small apartment with a postage-sized backyard, she always grew at least a tomato and pepper plant.
I still remember what it tasted like to go out to the garden and pick a ripe tomato and slap it between 2 slices of bread for lunch and in those days it was white bread with lots of mayo and a Rutgers beefsteak tomato variety that filled the whole slice! The taste of that warm tomato was so incredible and, of course, the nutrition compared to what I could buy in a supermarket is incomparable. The very first year I lived in a home of my own, one of the early projects was getting rid of some grass to plant veggies.
As I began aging, the thought of going out to prepare the soil, pull the weeds, and water the plants really got to be too much. But I wanted to continue my quest for a more plant-based diet. Imagine my delight when I found I no longer had to grow plants that way. WOW!!!
Now I have produce that sometimes I have to give away because I have so much.
Now I have produce that tastes so much better than what I can buy.
Now I have produce that grows so much faster than my traditional garden.
Now I have produce that saves me so much money.
Now I have produce that uses so much less water.
