CSA vs. the Home Farm

Perhaps you are wondering about starting your own garden.  It would be cheaper then buying into a CSA and then you would have more control of what veggies you would get.  But a home garden isn't for everyone, especially not me  ;)  Here are a few easy questions to help you figure out what is best for you:

1.  Do you have copious amounts of free time to spend working on your garden, especially when getting things started in the spring and during the summer?
2. Do you have the space needed in order to grown all of the veggies that you want?
3.  Does you space have the correct amount of sunlight needed in order to grow crops?
4.  Do you have the knowledge on how to set up and run your garden?
5.  Are you able to deal with too much or too little rain?

If the answer to any or all of these questions is no, don't feel bad, get a CSA!

And you can still garden a few extra plants of your favorite things in addition to your CSA.  Gardening is fun and I've been told it isn't hard, but to really get enough to enjoy the produce does take a lot of work!
