FRUITS GIVE US SUPERPOWERS!!

ORGANICALLY GROWN DESERT STRAWBERRIES

    There is a reason when we eat fruit, we as humans feel so satisfied. I honestly believe that fruit evolved to our needs as human beings. Every single time I eat a piece of fruit, I always feel so energized and good inside.

    I started noticing that I felt less tired, and had more of an attention span for all of my gardening work including writing my book. * I will let you guys know when it is almost finished so you can be on the look out for it! * There has to be a study done on the effects of fruit, regarding brain stimulation, health and overall emotions.

    I believe that fruit helped us evolve into the beings we are today, we learned to cultivate it for our needs and we also learned which fruits were best in each season. Without cultivation, societies would never really have taken place. Look throughout history, certain fruits have ACTUALLY caused wars just because of the fact of our bodies needing them.

    For example, ever hear about how Xerxes tried to conquer all of Greece? Well his true ambition was for the FIG! You read that right folks, a man decided to take a whole country to war just for the fruits that specific countries regions bore. Remember, there is a reason why fruit is so important! Until next time...

Well they are right, you only have been blessed with one body! The easiest and best way to instill this lifestyle EASILY into your life is to cultivate your own foods. The majority of produce from your local markets can be grown in your specific region. All you need is good soil content, a steady flow of water, and the patience to do said deeds.

¤ First, we will start off talking about the benefits of growing tomatoes! ¤

     Tomatoes are known all over the world as been a highly rich antioxidant fruit, it's also known to lower one's cholesterol and can help battle Prostate and/or Breast Cancer. I want to live a long and healthy life and I'm fairly certain that you would too. The rich supply of antioxidants provided by the tomato can help postmenopausal women with their bone health. And as been used in research to help reduce risk of some neurological diseases, including Alzheimer's disease.

 **Most people with gastrointestinal complications most likely should NOT eat tomatoes frequent, because it can cause more stomach irritation and heart burn to occur more often.**

¤ Reasons for growing your own Tomatoes ¤

    Each person has their specific favourite type of tomato they long for on their sandwich, burger, salad, pasta or pizza. And each breed of tomato has a different price. The higher end of cost are your heirlooms, which have been passed down from generation to generation. So if you are going to grow your own tomatoes, research which type of tomato you like (i.e. beefmaster, roma, cherry). Then research the different breeds of the type you have chosen. There could be the most amazing tomato you ever had out there in seed, waiting for you to give your own "green thumb" a go.

    Tomatoes are one of the easier crops I have grown, they take less time and nurturing than beans or potatoes in my opinion. I use organic manure; steer, cow, pig, horse, or fowl. Dead plant matter with some compost (fruit and veggie scraps, porous soil, and worm casting) and finally some dirt. I prune and clean up, around the base of the plant, about every third or fourth day. My average fully matured tomato plant, about five foot high/one and a half metres, gets about two cups/a pint of water throughout the day.

   Well Friends! You heard what I think about tomatoes and their brilliant qualities. Now it's time to ask yourself if you're going to take a fun risk and try to grow some, or just shop for better quality tomatoes. Whatever you choose, have fun with your food and try to make some of it healthy. Until next time guys....Keep it Green and Keep it Growing! Ciao!!
