HW 8- Growing our own Food

It felt weird to grow my own food because i'm more used to going to the supermarket and buying my food. I never thought about how much work it takes just to grow food and growing sprouts helped me to think about that. I would water my sprouts but truthfully I forgot to water them sometimes. It wasn't very easy for me because caring for plants is not a natural part of my life. It would be different if I actually worked on a farm and grew food because it would become a natural part of my life. Something that was both shocking and true is that when Andy asked us if we knew any plants that grew in the month of October, no one knew the answer. It is sad that we know more about the number of times that Lindsey Lohan has went to jail than foods that grow in October. This process wasn't very sacred to me because I know I can go to the supermarket and get carrots, corn, the basics, and I don't need to grow the food myself. However if by some strange occurence we had to grow our own food, I don't think we would survive because most of us don't know a thing about Agriculture.
