The Importance of Struggle and Patience in Growing Food

Growing food is a rewarding experience that requires struggle and patience. Just like the high after a run or the satisfaction of going in the cold water, the struggle of growing food makes the end result even more enjoyable. The waiting game and the months of patience involved in growing food make it all the more exciting and delicious. It creates a deeper respect for ingredients and a greater appreciation for the taste. It is like a silent revolution, saying no to chemically treated store-bought produce and harvesting nourishing food from your own garden.
