Gardening Your Way To Better Health
Anybody who has ever tried their hand at gardening will put themselves into one of two categories; those with green thumbs, and those who are all thumbs. People with green thumbs are natural born growers, they can make anything they plant grow and thrive. People who don’t have green thumbs are usually the ones who have an interest in gardening, but every time they try to grow something, or even keep it alive, it shrivels up and dies.
Gardening has been around since the beginning of time, and has become more popular for what it once was, and for the many new reasons of today. The homesteader of years ago planted, plowed, and picked for basic survival. He couldn’t find a whole foods store to go and buy all his organic foods from, he had to harvest his, and sometimes even an entire village worth of people’s, food to survive.Getting down to level of the soil is a good way to stretch our bodies. As we let our hands and fingers dig deep into the ground, we are allowing ourselves to experience life on a whole other level, not just from where our bodies meet the ground with our feet.
