These days, eating your veggies is all the rage. It's not only the thing to do if you want to prevent a plethora of vitamin deficiencies, it's a completely eco-friendly and cost-saving hobby. Here are three reasons you should look into growing your own vegetables today:
Saving fuel and preventing pollution. Store-bought vegetables require the usage of tractors and trucks to transport them from farm to market. All you need to make a nutritious meal are your own two feet to take you to the backyard and your hands to pick when the veggies are ripe!
Peace of mind that your meal will contain no pesticides or additives. Plus-you know who's picked and prepared it-you!
Save cash. If you're not buying vegetables you regularly buy at the store, you could save plenty of money each week |

Did You Know?
 On average, store-bought vegetables have travelled approximately 1500 miles, burning about 400 gallons of gasoline each time they hit your plate. That's a lot of unnecessary pollution and money spent to eat carrots you could grow for practically nothing, don't you agree?

Very productive plants producing loads of dusky rose to purple colored, 12 oz.-1 lb., beefsteak type tomatoes with deep red colors to the interior flesh and dark shoulders. A very popular market variety because of it's rich, complex and sweet flavors. One of the best tasting heirloom tomatoes.
Cherokee Purple is the name of a cultivar of tomato, unusual for the deep purple/red hue of its fruit. It was one of the first of the "black" color group of tomatoes. It is also unusual in being extremely popular for the sake of its flavor, instead of only its unusual color. Cherokee Purple tomatoes are beefsteak in style, with green "shoulders" across the top. They are also notable for having a dense, juicy texture, with small seed locales irregularly scattered throughout the flesh. The comparatively dark interior color is enhanced by the tendency of the seeds to be surrounded by green gel. Indeterminate. 72-80 days.
