Why Have An Organic 'Raw Food' Garden
By Suzi Franks
Raw Food is BIG and it’s one of those ‘fads’ that is actually GOOD for you!! To really devote your taste buds to a complete raw food diet, I truly believe, you have to grow your own organic vegetables.
My reasoning for this belief is simple: you are going raw or eating a raw diet because you are looking after your health and your concerned about effects the ‘commercial processed’ food on the shelves of your super market and other food outlets on your health. Over Use of Chemicals
This concern is extremely valid, another valid reason is the quality and growing practices of commercial vegetable farmers leaves a lot to be desired. I was talking with one such farmer and he confided in me this pearl of wisdom: Nobody I know eats what they sell, they all have their own personal vegetable gardens...need I say more?? The over use of chemical pesticides and ‘super’ phosphate fertilisers has damaged the Earth and with the use of hybrid seeds they have changed the vegetable world and not for the better. How can anything that has been subjected to foreign substances and changed on a genetic level be natural and healthy? Growing Your Own Vegetables
Growing your own vegetables can be as simple or as complicated as you would like to make it. The biggest challenge you have is finding room to fit in all the wonderful range of vegetables. Because believe me, once you taste your own organic vegetables, a carrot that actually tastes like a carrot ought to, you will wonder, however did we let commercial growing get to this?? Limited space is not a complex problem, it just needs a new way of looking at. We have forgotten or have never known how to challenge ourselves to ‘making things fit or happen’. It is not our fault, we have been born into a World were ‘the faster the better’ and ‘I want it now’ is a way of life. But, the tide is turning, you CAN be self sufficient without a garden or with very little space, imagination is the name of the game here and a willingness to spend a little time tending your plants. Not rocket science, they need tender loving care, just like you. Lets look at this:
They need water, just like us
They need food, just like us
They need shelter, just like us
They need light and protection from the elements, just like us See, they are not so different, but they will reward you with a bountiful harvest if you provide these basic needs. And what better way to unwind at the end of a working day than spending it talking and watering your vegetables? I can tell you they don’t answer back but will let you know what the DO need:) So come journey with me and grow your own organic raw vegetables, you’ll be glad you did!!

I recognize that bamboo structure from your blog! Yummy. By coincidence a friend wrote me yesterday urging me to take a trip to New Zealand, saying that I would love the gardens there. I cannot do that in the near future, but at least I have my own organic garden here and lots of plants both edible and ornamental growing indoors too.
Ya know... I hate most cooked vegetables -- except for corn and potatoes. But I love raw carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, and purple cabbage. A cooked carrot? Ewwwwww...
