Does organic home gardening or organic homestead farming sound appealing to you? Have you ever thought about how to grow vegetables at home?
This has been a dream of mine for many years now but living in an apartment in New York City has limited my ability to do so.
So until I have a home with a yard, I will study other people’s organic home gardens and see how they grow organic garlic, grow organic tomatoes or organic potatoes.
Dr. Pamela Yee, MD is our guide today. She is a functional medicine doctor who has been growing her own organic home garden for 12 years. Functional medicine is system biology-based approach to medicine whereby they search and treat the root cause of an illness. Oftentimes, they will use food and herbs as medicine or for preventative measures.
She grows medicinal herbs, fruit trees, organic vegetables. She shares the medicinal and health benefits of many of the vegetables that she grows. This idea of permaculture where plants have multiple uses, creating a balanced eco-system.
