Going green
Green. Organic. They surely sound better than toxic chemicals in your food or garden. Studies show that organic produce provide higher levels of nutrients than those grown with harmful pesticides and artificial fertilizers. That’s the reason why I choose to buy from the organic section at the supermarket even if the fruits and veggies there are priced a little higher than the regular produce.
If we only have a lawn, I would definitely consider organic gardening. I admire those individuals who move up to organic farming or gardening because they help care for the environment. But since I don’t have the luxury of space to grow my own organic vegetables and fruits, the most I can do for the moment is grow a few flower plants on the rooftop. I can proudly say that I don’t use any chemicals on them. I only use water and natural compost to make them healthy but I don’t know how to deal with some bugs. I also need to pull out the weeds regularly.
The plants look just fine though I know I can do better, whew. I wonder how it’ll be like to use some organic flower gardening care products by Safer® Brand as featured on Designing Spaces on this video. By the looks of it, organic gardening is a lot easier using these safe, organic products. Bugs are eliminated without the harmful chemicals that are present in ordinary pesticides. Both plants and soil are protected and nurtured. Know more about organic gardening by clicking on the link above.
Let’s start doing our own little way of saving the planet and our health too by going organic. Check this out:

what you’re doing is very admirable - imagine, not having a lawn did not stop you from starting a on the rooftop. i have a brown thumb, i don’t know that i’ll be able to do the same, rooftop or lawn - so ang galing-galing mo!

I have flowers, and veggies. It is extremely hard to grow veggies, in some parts of Florida, mainly due to bugs. They say using original Dawn dish detergent, mixed with water, in a spray bottle is a natural, and eco friendly bug detterent. Also if you plant marigolds around your veggie garden, bugs do not like the smell, and will stay away.

We always used Organic when we had our house. Of course in the apartment we just do inside plants.

Thanks for visiting Grampys Place. Yes we do go to the Vintage Rock and Roll restaurant. We sit in a different spot all the time to see the different things they have.

oh, one of the things i love is gardening. yes, pots will do, i do admire you for that rochelle. Here at home, sometimes vegetables just grow without me planting, i am thankful for the birds, for they are the vegetables i missed from philippines ( kulitis or amaranth). i do’t know about bugs, sometimes, i see some white bugs in the leaves, i just manually clean them up and water. then, they’re gone. don’t know if it will work all the time though. there are some plants which repels bugs too i guess, but i don’t know which ones.

it is still better to adhere on organic farming because the fruits and vegetables does not contain those harmful chemicals.~,.
