Welcome to Vibe.

And here's your host, Robin Openshaw.

Hey, I'm Robin Openshaw.

I'm the Green Smoothie Girl Online, and I have been gardening indoors for just over a year now, and it has changed my life. It's been one of those things that I just wish I'd discovered it sooner.

International trade is changing, and our North American countries are at odds with many of our longtime trading partners, which include trading in food.

And many stores are going out of business. I'm sure you're noticing that with many more projected

into the next few years. And now it's been our lived experience that there are thousands of options

in every grocery store near us, but that's been the case

for only a few decades. And now it's time to think about how we can provide more healthy,

fresh food for ourselves. Because another thing to consider is that there's little nutrition

in the food that we get that's been in the supply chain for months.

Even our produce has insecticides involved in pesticides, and now a lot of it is coated in a

preservative to keep our fruits and vegetables in the supply chain longer.

And that water that you see being sprayed in the produce section, it's got chlorine and junk in it that

you wouldn't have if you were growing it yourself. So given that we've seen the food shortages

and more projected, we're all getting concerned about the quality of the food we buy. If you're

like me, you want to take more control over your food. So I've gardened my whole life since I was a little girl, including

attempting during the lockdown in 2020 to garden in Park City, which is a ski town. And just as

everything rooted, it froze. So I figured out why I never saw any gardens in Park City. And now the last four years in Florida, where it hits 100 degrees by June.

So I love that as a gardener, even though I'm not a great one, and I'm kind of neglectful, and I have had a lot of fails, my kids understand where food comes from.
