Three years ago Husband and I experienced an enormous shift in the way we think, and as a result we became vegetarians. One year later, we’d made the full transition to vegan eating and, a few slips and accidents aside, remain 100% vegans to this day. It’s just a part of who we are.
I feel like I’m in the middle of another enormous shift, this time to do with sustainable living and self production of the resources we need. I have never grown a vegetable nor raised a farm animal. I live in an apartment (though it has a big deck). But I really want to try seeing how much of our needs I can meet myself, growing things for us to eat primarily.
So I will start a garden. It’s late in the season but I’m going to see what I can come up with. Intensive planning stage begins now!
That’s interesting. What’s the cause of this shift? Best of luck with your garden!
