Organic Gardening I started off organic herb gardening about a year ago. I
didn’t really think about it as organic. I just bought a little bit of dirt,
threw in some seeds, and grew them in a windowsill box.

I didn’t want to get any artificial fertilizers because they seemed unnecessary and costly, and the dirt that I got was all-natural and locally harvested. The herbs were out of this
world. If you are new to organic gardening, I recommend that you grow herbs.
There’s nothing that adds zest to your food like having fresh, homegrown, high
quality herbs.

Anyway, to get back to my story, I sort of got involved in
organic gardening by steps. A friend of mine owned an organic garden, and she
asked me what I used to grow my herbs. When I told her, she was surprised with
me.

Apparently, most people apply miracle grow or some other artificial
fertilizer without thinking about whether or not they need it. I was scared to
take the next step because I thought I had what I would call a brown thumb. I
had never been very good at keeping plants alive when I was growing up, and I
figured that outdoor organic gardening was beyond me.

She convinced me to give it another try. She helped me to select a few easy to grow local varieties of vegetables, and we get started right away. I was surprised how manageable it
was. She taught me some organic pest control methods to deal with aphids and
soon I had several healthy crops going. Don’t get me wrong – I made a few
mistakes. For one thing, I over-watered the tomatoes.

They kept looking brown and wilted, so I figured they needed more water. Later I found out that I had just the opposite problem. My tomatoes were unhappy because they had too much
water!

Still, for the most part my gardening worked out well. I was surprised by
how manageable organic gardening was. It really wasn’t any more difficult than
growing a conventional garden, and it only cost a bit more.

Organic fertilizer was readily available, and I was able to use compost to supplement it. The best thing was having my own organically grown vegetables at the end of the season.
Fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, lettuce, and a few other veggies filled my
pantry. I felt like I was eating seriously gourmet food, and best of all I had
grown it all myself.
