Why do many of us believe that we have to source our fruits and vegetables from the shops or markets. Even city folk, like myself, can have some plants growing around the house, in small city gardens or even on a small balcony. We have two posts today demonstrating some ways to grow plants in your house. Third post is on the theme of ethical shopping. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYqVCqqgdtYYnzTP7tcYSALtP3exVLqGrJBmKU4ibEhGm/Daily-Digest.jpg) ![Line-Break-1.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWTHuMvjK6QVoykWE6JrGdTvacDFrnQxvrFZxsVym3Vf2/Line-Break-1.png) <div class="pull-left"> ![](https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmf1G7uUGH8oQXvbQG5NRMsbnbT9mWR2jRe6FmCTvyDbjD/DSC_0294_2.JPG) </div> <div class="pull-right"> <center>Plants in a bathtub, @my-permaculture </center> <hr> Yes, you read that correctly.

This is a great initiative. I only just fully understand what you're doing. I'm a bit slow sometimes, it's my age !! Going to totally get behind this movement here! Thank you so much for the reference. Have a beautiful day :-)

It is so exciting to see the buzz around urban farming! Not just that people are talking about it, things are actually happening. If you want to start growing your own food you can easily find starter kits (even hydroponic) in the local shops. And small scale urban farms that sell their produce are getting more numerous.

Me to. I get a real kick from seeing it spread as well. My new favourite gift to give is a chilli plant. I grow them up from saplings and when they start to fruit I pass them on as a gift.

Itβs possible for almost anyone to grow some of their own food. How? Microgreens and sprouts. Bill Mollison said, βThe greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone. Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter.β
