  1. Couldn’t agree more!

  2. 11. No taxes.

  3. Get to eat fresh fruits or vegetables from your hard work. Nothing more rewarding.

  4. It’s just a great feeling. One of my favorite garden crops …the potato . Kids love to dig them out.

  5. I couldn’t agree more… And have one more to add…

    No CRAZY HIGH priced juices at the gym’s juice bar… You can pick and press your own fresh organic juices! 😄

  6. Natural gardening/farming is literally ‘re-cycling’, when you think you are done with everything, it is about time to start all over again!

    Very interesting blog Mr. Thomas.

  7. 1.You stick with it! 2. Labor of love. 3. Cross training – weights (lifting bags of manure), aerobics ( shoveling a yard of compost from your truck into wheel barrows! ) stretching ( reaching for that weed or to prune the out of reach stem) 4. Exercise longer ( lleave gym within an hour) Husband has a hard time getting me in the house to make dinner. – let me think….my yard or dishes – figure that one out.
