As you might know, the health benefits from drinking an organic Juice every day is the best thing you can do to improve and maintain a healthy immune system and your overall wellbeing. So several months ago I romanticized with the idea to pick my own organic vegetable, carry them into my kitchen, clean them up, put them into my Juicer and drink it while sitting in my Tree-house.

From Thought to plan to action!

I planted a tiny organic Garden. I figured I’d start with the basics:

Carrots (excellent source of dietary fiber, antioxidants and minerals)

Radishes (good for the liver and the stomach. And it is a excellent detoxifier too, because it purifies the blood)

Red & Green Bell-peppers (are a good source of vitamin C, thiamine, vitamin B6, beta carotene, and folic acid)

Cucumbers (they contain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties)

Lettuce (have the highest content in antioxidants of all varieties of lettuce and it contains beta-carotene)

Celery (good source of anti-oxidants, essential oils, minerals, vitamins and fiber).

I grew them from seed and was prepared to wait for 10 or 14 days before I would see anything sprout. When I watered my precious dark soil on the second day, I could not believe my eyes- the Radishes surprised me. An entire row of delicate green little leaves shyly presented themselves. I was delighted!

The next day, the Cucumber followed, then the Carrots. Everything grows at least a ½” over night. It is unbelievable. Not only that everything starts to grow, but also that the Bell-peppers, Tomato and Cucumber plants have already some type of leaf-eating-bug.

I don’t want to use pesticides or any type of chemicals. So I did some research on what to use and to stay “Green”. Ladybugs! I found several articles which wrote about the benefits and the wonderful results those beautiful little creatures provide. They eat aphids, mealy bugs, scale, leaf hoppers, and other destructive pests. They simply feed off the insects that are already there.

Yes, you guessed it, I’m going to order some live Ladybugs and they going to take care of the matter. And I will continue enjoying my first organic little garden. Read and enjoy learning why Organic is good for you and why GMO is not at my www.HealthyChoiceGuide.com.

Do you have any suggestions for my new organic garden? If so, post your comments below and let me know!
