Hi guys.
This is Heather from HealthyEatingStartsHere.com and I’m in a little bit of withdrawal today
I’m feeling the separation from two things.
Number one fresh greens from the garden and number two Phil, he is in London at his parents
place still filming in his garden and I had to head back to Ottawa for the start of the
figure skating season, I’m trying out for a team here at Ottawa and if you guys are
really good I might see if I can get a little video of being on the ice that is also if
I am not too self conscious to pull out my camera while I am skating around.
So we’ll see about that.
Anyway, when I got home I had to go to the grocery store and pick out some food of course
and looking at the lettuce made me a little bit sad after having quite a bit of time with
Phil’s parents and his garden and be able to walk up back and pick fresh lettuce, fresh
char, fresh kale, fresh tomatoes, fresh cucumber.
Everything!
Just outside the door.
It is so amazing!
So I did pick up this lettuce and it is an organic lettuce and it didn’t come too far
away so it’s fairly fresh but just not quite the same so I wanted to mention this today
to you guys to really emphasize the fact that growing food at home is so so good if you
have space you should look into trying to this.
Now I’m totally not a gardener so I understand those of you who feel like you cannot do it
but if you want help, Phil’s website is SmilingGardener.com and he has ton of videos
on there to help you learn how to garden and how to grow really healthy and really delicious
food at home.
Otherwise if you don’t have space like we don’t have space here in Ottawa or if you’re
really not a gardener like I am not I’m lucky to have Phil but when I got home from
the grocery store and picking out this lettuce I thought I need some sprouts so I’ve got
some started and I have a video posted on my channel that you can check out if you want
to grow some for yourself.
If you look up “growing alfalfa sprouts at home” you can find that, so really important
it is the best way to get a lot of nutrients in your diet is to grow your own food whether
it’s sprouting or whether it’s great veggies in your backyard.
Look into it and give it a try even I can grow sprouts and like I said I’m not a gardener.
So that is, that’s how I’m dealing with my withdrawal from, from fresh garden, fresh
products but withdrawal from Phil is pretty tough so luckily his website I can watch him
by video and pretend that his talking to me but other than that I’m just trying to keep
busy and heading to the skating tonight.
But if anyone has any tips or suggestion on ways to cheer myself up please let me know.
Leave me a comment and don’t forget to check out Phil’s site SmilingGardener.com and
my site for more info on nutrition, HealthyEatingStartsHere.com.
Thanks for listening guys!
It’s good therapy.
