This is most useful, thank you for posting. Home grown food & veg is much tastier, much more nutritional & a lot less expensive than store bought produce. In most cases anyway.
Herbs are a treat to eat picked off of your own plants, and many herbs are excellent as a preventative against many common ailments. Ginger is great to boost your immunity against colds & flu. All things in moderation including moderation is a general rule of thumb that applies to most if not all aspects of living, especially in the fast paced race of modern day life.
