"I would LOVE to grow my own vegetable garden... if I only had space...""Growing your own food, that would be great... if I only had time..." Sounds familiar? If so, please keep reading. When I started, a few years ago, my journey in self-sufficiency, starting out has been by far the hardest part. From the first time I thought "I'd like to", to when I actually started, has passed more time than from when I actually started to my first harvest.
