Garden or not?

[akroberts]

I will grow anything that I will and will not eat. Reason being is my mom and my daughter in law. They said that they would like to get some however where they live there is no room for a garden. Even if I was allergic to some food I would still plant it for others that can.

I volunteer at the local food bank/pantry. People bring in their extras in the summer and fall.

Would you have a veggie garden if you couldn't eat anything (or a significant amount) from it?

No,, if I had food allergies or IBS or ?? something—no I would not,, I would though still grow all my medicinals and more flowers.

Gardens are not mandatory. We do what we enjoy.

Even if you couldn't eat anything from a veggie garden, many people would still find it worthwhile for the benefits it offers beyond just food. A veggie garden can provide a calming and therapeutic activity, connect you with nature, and give you a sense of accomplishment as you watch plants grow. It can also help attract beneficial insects like bees and butterflies, improve soil health, and contribute to a sustainable environment. Additionally, you could share the produce with friends, family, or local food banks, which adds a community-building aspect to gardening.
