I thought about growing vegetables in order to better weather the coming crises which may be quite difficult, I thought about it a few months ago, but after learning how much I would have to learn, I thought, oh, all this information is spinning my head. Where should I start? What fertilizers to use, how not to overpay money and other resources? How to stretch soil fertility as long as possible and is it possible not to be physically exhausted in the process? Time is also running out.
Well, as a result, my brain subconsciously abandoned this idea, well, I was too used to a comfortable life and food from the supermarket. And so it has been for four months.
I know I’m pathetic. I haven’t even bought seeds yet.
Start with something easy like arugula or sunflower sprouts. Not everything has to be perfect right away. And it takes a new kind of attention and patience. Just start playing with it.
Agree. I once grew onions in bags…kinda by accident. I did nothing and they grew. That boosted my confidence. Radishes are pretty easy too. They both grew fast, with minimal care from me. Your location, your soil/climate etc also matters…its probs a good idea to look up what zone you are and pick the easiest growing thing. https://www.plantmaps.com/ if you dont know soil just grab a bag of cheap compost and a strong bag/recycled tub.
It does not have to be hard or a responsibility. Perfect is the enemy of the Good enough.
