I agree there is nothing more delcious than fruit and vegetables picked from your own garden.
Even children who turn up their noses at vegetables, have been known to clean up a patch of my climbing peas quicker than a plague of Locusts.
In Australia we are very lucky to have cheap and plentiful supplies of fresh fruit and vegetable in the shops, but growing your own is really well worth the effort.
Some vegetables taste so different when home grown that you may find you enjoy them after years of leaving them on your plate.
Vegetables that taste the most different when home grown include beetroot,broad beans cabbage ,celery,french beas,peas, sweetcorn and ofcourse Tomatoes.
Even if you dont have a large garden most vegetables can be successfully grown in containers,given enough sun shine ,a good potting mix and ample feed.
Happy Gardening
