Gift Of Health


This is a partial list of plants that I have grown. Actually, many of them grow wild in my region of Pennsylvania. Some of them were grown outdoors and some indoors. If you are interested in planting your own seeds and "starts", there are many easy ways to get started.

Onions, horseradish, potatoes, garlic, cherry tomatoes, and many others can be found at your local grocery store. These can be planted in a variety of ways. In general, they just need to be covered with dirt.

Here is more information on growing and finding your own food.
