I would much rather grow my own veggies than by them, but I unfortunately don't have the time or space for a garden right now. Hopefully I will be able to have one someday though!
I would rather grow them for a number of reasons, organic, self-sustainable, tasty, cheap... But of course, it's hard to do.
I absolutely LOVE home grown veggies. I get spoiled all summer long with fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, green beans and much more.
Then when the dreaded winter sets in, I am forced to buy them at the supermarket.
Growing vewgetables is very rewarding and provides a sense of achievement. I find homegorwn always tastes better too. In addition, you know exactly what has, and hasn't been sprayed on them which is always a bonus.
All things considered growing your own is more expensive, more time consuming and a lot of hardwork, but there's no doubt that it's great to get out and get your fingers green in the garden!
I would love to grow my own veggies. you do not know what is one them, it is relaxing, and you can get what you want in a garden. unfortunately, I cannot, because I live in a condo. tried container gardening once, and was not successful, but I will try again next year.
i like the idea of growing my own more than i actually like doing it. i always get excited at spring time and then lose all my steam for gardening by june. i like the grocery store!
the taste of home grown veg is amazing once you have tried it you won`t want to buy veg again, if you don`t have much room try square foot gardening, the principal is that you plant your veg within 1 foot by 1foot areas either google it or buy book square foot gardening Mel Bartholomew i got mine from Amazon

Do you grow a vegetable garden for you and your family?Why not take a portion of your yard and grow a vegetable garden. Consider sharing the surplus with your local homeless shelter or seniors in your area. If we all did this we could truly change the world. We could help to feed hungry people...
