It's not weird' date=' but it sure is ambituous! How are you going to meet your Protein needs? :)[/quote']

Absolutely nothing wrong with that!! I think it's a great idea - in fact, why wait until after surgery! Go for it now!

Oh I think that's a wonderful idea! I grew my own vegetables for a while--by that I mean I tried to. I couldn't even grow zucchini properly! If you are good at that sort of thing, it's a wonderful hobby, it's good exercise, it's fresh and organic, if you have kids, they love to "help". What a great idea!

We cook everything from scratch in my house. I rarely use cans, spice mixes etc. and we love it. We've been talking about growing our own herbs but still haven't gotten there.

Enjoy!

I been watching tutorials on how to make fresh Pasta. I think my diet is same as my sister

That's awesome. Not only does it give you a new focus it increases your desire to eat clean!

But you can still start the "all natural" route now ;-)

Great idea and not weird at all! Fruit trees take between 2-3 years to produce a crop of fruit from when you plant them, so plan ahead and plant now! Also be sure to check if what you plant needs a pollinator - you may have to plant 2 different trees that bloom at the same time to get fruit. If you don't have lots of space, look for self pollinating fruit. A lot of produce won't be ready until August & September so figure out what other veggies and fruits to use from early Spring thru late summer. Zucchini is good, rhubarb, strawberries (ever bearing), raspberries, blueberries (some varities may need a pollinator), lettuce, peas, asparagus, bok choi, beets, Swiss chard will be great to fill in holes too. Herbs will give you the most bang for your buck- a little organic package will run you $3 and usually you don't use all if it. Growing your own you can just go outside and snip what you need. :). Garden organically...safer for you and pets...you can eat any of your produce without worry. Chickens would be great too- I want some! Great eggs, bug control in the garden, and compost! Have fun...gardening is a great hobby!
