Your vegetables look so hardy and delicious!
It seems like the grocery store vegetables are getting a lot worse. Some stuff starts degrading the moment it leaves the store and in weird ways. It's so bad that the only thing I will buy is potatoes and garlic, and those are even getting iffy now. I've started growing garlic, have 1 successful sprout out of 5 planted so far.
I discovered recently that a lot of stuff is grown with PGR's (Plant Growth Regulators) in food, and is FDA approved. It's banned for use in cannabis because somehow mutates the compounds and is considered toxic to smoke. Most of the cannabis in my area is laden with this toxic stuff. It's strange that it's legal for food but not smokable. In my mind that says it's bad in any form.
We need more people to start home gardening food the way you do, as a means of "fighting back."
Humanity is not in balance with nature and the degradation is accelerating.
I met a woman once who called herself a grassophobic, when I asked her why that was the case, she said because she is a shitophobic and does not want to step in any. She was not joking a single bit and used those words in a very serious way. She said there was no way anyone would ever get her to step on grass under any circumstances.
