didn't work to produce their own garden they may not have
enough food to get them through for the winter.
Over the years, as times changed, it has become possible
for grocery stores to offer foods to consumers for less
money than what it would cost to grow it themselves.

their own personal reasons.
Growing a garden may be a way of. If you grow up producing
a garden every year you soon learn all the tips and tricks
that you can pass down to your children.
Raising a garden for your main source of food requires a
lot of work and some expense involved as well. In the end
you can enjoy everything from your garden all year long by
preserving them.
When you harvest your food you can save seeds from your
vegetables so you can use them next year to plant with.
This will save you money in the long run because purchasing
seeds and plants can be a big expense
