As a native of Texas, I’ve been able to find some of the best produce in the world at the farmers’ market, but nothing compares to my experience picking up my fair share of fresh produce at a farmers’ market in the Bay Area. When I moved to a new place, I stocked up on local produce and vegetables to make my meals a little easier. I’ve learned that I can’t rely on the quick-and-easy supermarket meals.
For instance, the fresh produce in the Bay Area is often shipped halfway around the world to us. When I started farming my own plot of land, I needed to find ways to grow produce that weren’t too much of a challenge, or I would be facing a lot of time and money later trying to ship all that produce back.
I also needed to learn how to live without a lot of extra nutrients I didn’t really need, like meat, dairy, coffee, and sugar. I had to learn to eat a lot less for my meals, as well. That part, I had to learn myself and I had to figure out how to do so without resorting to eating a bunch of junk food.
For those of you who have never been a farmer, this is not a topic that you will learn anything new about, but I feel like it was a very important one for me. When you’re a farmer, you are in constant contact with the seasons, and it’s a lot easier to grow the produce you need when you know what you’re eating. And I have to admit that I liked that aspect.
For my meals, I grew tomatoes and some lettuce. I also grew mushrooms and some peppers and I also bought some of my own garlic. Not sure if I ever finished growing one of those garlic plants, so I don’t know for sure. The rest of it I ate off of a salad that I made myself.
I think I would have been happier if I had gotten a little bit of growing done. Not only was the salad more balanced, but I would have made it a lot easier on myself. For example, I didn’t have to get out my watermelons and use a sprayer to get a good amount of water out of them. I could still just use the regular watering. So the amount of water that I needed to make it through a round of vegetables was quite low.
I also didnt have to have a lot of work to get started, so I made a few small changes. I cut down on the size of the lettuce, put a layer of tomato on top of the lettuce, make sure there is a layer of lettuce on top of the tomato, and then some cilantro. I used a lot of weed stems and green leaves. You can pick the leaves and use a sprayer to spray them with some weed juice.
The weeds are also a huge problem. They grow in the soil, which makes them very difficult to control. Because you have so much weed, you end up spraying it at a huge rate, which makes it difficult to control. You can try to spray it more, but there is a cost to doing that.
I also ended up using a lot of water-repelling plants, like cactus and waterweed. They do need water and it’s great to get more plants growing than you would if you just use weed.
The game’s farming system is also very resource-intensive. Because there are so many different plants that need water, you get to have a lot of plants with water-wicking leaves. Because you don’t have the water to waste, you end up spraying a lot more water. I was also very frustrated by the constant bombardment of insecticide, so I ended up running a water barrier around my house to keep the bugs out.
