If you have been following this blog, by now you know that we grow some of our food organically. We started getting concerned with the relationship between what we ate, and our health when we started developing allergies we didn't have before, gaining odd weight, and starving from enough energy to go through the day. We realized that the food we ate had a lot of ingredients that were messing with our health.

I am Mexican, born and raised, so I was able to provide some input to my husband on how our food in supermarkets was a bit different from the one in the United States. For starters, in Mexico you know that if you don't eat your fruits and veggies in a few days, they will go bad. While here in the United States, we've forgotten about a fruit that could be laying in a dark corner of the fridge for months and when found, it looked almost perfect after all that time. That just made us feel like something was seriously wrong. It made me wonder-- If it took so long for it to go bad in the fridge, how long would it take to be digested if ever?

We started doing the transition little by little. We were in a tight budget so going organic from one day to the other was not going to happen. Taking advantage of my husband's love for gardening, we decided to learn about growing some of our own food just to try it out. We found out that it wasn't that hard to grow things we do eat such as; tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers, and other greens. Summer became one of my favorite seasons, because we would literally see the fruit of our work.
