why should I buy vegetables fro market and when I can grow my own vegetables?
Buying your vegetables from a market means you are getting it very fresh, so it has more vitamins and minerals in it than something that has been travelling around for days – there is also a chance the food will be local (so less food miles), cheaper than supermarkets and in season (so environmentally better too). If you want to grow your own vegetables outdoors, when will depend on where you live. You will want to plant your veg around the first frosts of spring and finish growing when the hard frosts of fall start (roughly April to October depending on where you are). Other items like tomatoes can be grown indoors or in a greenhouse all year around – and very easily, too. Growing your own veg can be hard work at first, but is satisfying and can save you money in the long run if you eat a lot of it and plan to do it for the long term – but make sure you chose a variety of veg that you enjoy eating, and that you have plot rotation to prevent your soil being drained of nutrients.
