Is there some innate drive in human beings to plant crops, to grow food? I no longer live where I have the room or the need to plant a garden, but still there is this drive to grow something to eat.
Tomato plants or strawberries wouldn't be too difficult. I just need a corner in a flower bed or a pot on the porch and I can have something to eat that I grew myself. But I must be cautious because too many plants might require a hoe or fertilizer or Seven dust for bugs. And I certainly don't want to have to can or freeze anything.
Tomatoes for a salad would be nice, but I can't think about peas or corn or watermelons--I don't have enough room for things like that. Maybe spring flowers would satisfy my planting desires. No it's a sustenance thing: the need to provide food. Maybe I can just stop at a produce stand and buy the veggies if I have just a plant or two to remind me of garden experience. I think I can handle it now.
