Many food stores carry what they pass on as “organically grown” vegetables or herbs. But there is no guarantee for their claims; most of the veggies/herbs are chockfull of pesticides. These vegetables/herbs instead of helping us are making us sick. The only way to guarantee 100% organic vegetables/herbs is to grow them yourself.

In fact if possible, create a fish less pond for wildlife as this will draw many animals that are a gardener’s friend like frogs, toads, hedgehogs, birds and bats. Flowers like calendula, fennel, Californian poppy and poached egg plant encourage predatory, pest-controlling insects like hoverflies, lacewings, and ladybirds.
