Garden Goals

I miss growing my own food! I use to do this but I've gone very distracted and had to stop doing this. But, now I'm ready to start back up! I have to make time for something so important. I've discovered late last year that I have allergies (more so environmental allergies) and then I started to learn that the brain and gut are very much so connected. ​

I'm not really seeing much of what I CAN eat in the grocery store but I see plenty of what I WANT ! Instead of complaining I decided that it's time to take action!
​

From my reading and from my own experience I know it's necessary to grow my own food. Have you ever been in a position of knowing but never doing anything? .......it's truly a crime, right? What's the point of having knowledge if you don't use it?
I don't want to wait for something to happen before I make any changes. 
Plus I feel like it is my responsibility to eat halal and tayyib foods.

​“Material illnesses arise from an increase of matter which comes to a point of excess in the body whereby it harms its natural functions – and these are the most common illnesses. They are caused by consuming more food before the previous meal has been properly digested; by eating in excess of the amount needed by the body; by consuming food which is of little nutritional value and is slow to digest; and by eating different foods which are complex in their composition. So when a person fills his belly with these foods and it becomes a habit, they cause him various diseases…”
At-Tibb An-Nabawī p.20; Medicine of the Prophet, ITS, p13.
