Tomato And WHAT IS THE HUNGER GAP?

Tomato and THE HUNGER Gap
Recently, someone asked me, "Why do you grow so many tomatos, peppers, and onions?"
My goal, with my gardens, is to provide fresh and healthy food for my family and friends. I am aiming to be as close to self sufficient as I can. Avoid the grocery store. However, so far, I cannot go that entire Hunger Gap.

But, What is the Hunger Gap?
That time between using the last of your fall harvest, and the first food harvested in spring. I use my food up, before I can get a spring harvest. So, why do I plant so many tomato, pepper and cukes?

What are your gardening goals? Let me know below, in the comments.

My gardens are in Zone 7a/7b New England.

These Cherry Tomato are recent starts! I am potting these up to slightly larger cells today.

Please help me out, by Subscribing on my Youtube channel. If you help me grow, I can help you grow!

It really helps me out if you subscribe to my YouTube Channel...
...and of course, if you SHARE the Video, too!

MANY Thanks!

Check out this video and take a look at HOW i pot up my small tomato seedlings, in to larger pots for more room to stretch their tiny roots. #GrowBabyGrow #GroVid24

By putting the tiny guys into larger pots, it really does make for healthier, stronger, and more productive harvests later on in summer. Check out my VIDEO, on Tomato and The Hunger Gap:

Most of you know, I prefer to grow my own food, locally. It's healthier for my family, and for the planet. I know what goes into my foods, and what chemicals are NOT in my food. Also, It cuts down on carbon emissions, less trucking, planes, trains, and boats, to get fresh foods to my table.

And that makes me smile... better for the planet, better for my own family.
