I love this story! I always look up to people who decide to grow their own vegetables. The taste is so much better and I'm not going to mention the impact on environment as you covered it already. I am coming from a farmer family so I've never had store bought potatoes until I moved out. We would never buy any vegetables when I was a child as we grew all our veggies on our field. I will come back to gardening one day 😊 Keep it up, it's such a good feeling to do it, isn't it? 😉
