I’m sure by now most people realise that their food choices have environmental as well as health implications, which is why growing your own is a smart move. Even if you only have a balcony or small courtyard you can still grow an amazing amount of fresh produce (see next week’s post on growing rocket in a tray).
Planting Season is an initiative growing momentum that promotes this ‘grow your own’ philosophy. Their tag line calls on South Africans to unite on a single day to plant an organic vegetable in their home or office.
23 September is that day and you can commit o making a change in South Africa by signing up on their website, where you will also be able to download a free guide on organic gardening.

grow your own is great! it tastes soooo much fresher and better!
too true everything tastes better and cooks in a fraction of the time cause so fresh + you save money cause not always in the supermarket + hugely satisfying all of which equals self-worth+++. Not to mention a full tummy …
Yeah! own home planting is somewhat refreshing. Healthy living standards ensured and promoting Millenium Development Goals (MDG). Good work plantingseason initiative. Am recruiting as much a people as possible for the 23 September 2010.
