Hi Jimi,
“I don’t have time.”
“I don’t have space.”
“My conditions aren’t right.”
These are some of the most common reasons people give for not starting a garden—and they’re completely valid.
But here’s what many gardeners discover once they begin: it’s not really about the vegetables.
It’s about the joy of watching something grow. The connection to your food and your space. The simple satisfaction of realizing, “I did this.” And the sense of freedom that comes from having a little more control over what you eat.
>> Read: Why Grow Your Own Food? (It’s Not Just About the Vegetables)
In this article, you’ll discover why people really grow their own food and why your limitations matter less than you think.
If growing your own food has been on your mind—or you’ve tried before and it hasn’t quite gone as planned—this is a simple place to start
Happy gardening,

Are you tired of opening a pack of raspberries to find they’re already mushy? Or finding GIANT strawberries in the grocery store…that barely have any flavor?
Most of the berries you’ll find in the store were picked early, ripened off the plant, and still carry pesticide residue.
Instead, you could be picking berries out of your backyard—sweeter, healthier, and higher in nutritional value.
On April 21st, I’m going live for a free webinar to show you how. If you’re even a little bit interested in growing your own raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, or elderberries…come join us!

Hi Jimi,
Most garden problems don’t actually show up weeks later—they start in the first few days, before anything is even growing. It comes down to those early decisions: where you place your garden, what you choose to grow, and how you approach the process from the beginning.
Those choices are what determine whether your garden feels frustrating… or actually works.
And the tricky part is, most people don’t realize anything is off until much later—when it’s harder (and often more expensive) to fix.
That’s exactly why Green Thumb Essentials is so important.
Day 1: Why Grow Food? (It’s More Than Just Veggies)
This is where it all begins.

Instead of guessing…
Instead of reacting…

On April 27, Monsanto will be arguing before the Supreme Court that it shouldn’t be held liable for deaths and illnesses due to its carcinogenic Roundup weed killer. If they win, no one will be able to sue a corporation for failing to warn them of the dangers of pesticides—even if, like Monsanto, the company knows it’s peddling a deadly poison.
If you can make it to Washington, D.C. for the hearing on April 27, join the People vs. Poison Rally. If you come to D.C., please sign up for Moms Across America’s lobby day on April 28.
Help from home by reading on to find out whether your state is with Monsanto or its victims and taking action below.
Attorneys general from 15 states are siding with Monsanto: Alabama, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Utah.
TAKE ACTION: If you live in one of these states, send your attorney general and state legislators a strongly worded letter in protest.
There’s an even more impressive group against Monsanto: Eight high-ranking former officials with the Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Senator Corey Booker (D-NJ), and attorneys general from 21 states: Florida, Ohio, and Texas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wisconsin.
TAKE ACTION: If you live in one of these states, send your attorney general and state legislators a letter to thank them for standing with Roundup-exposed cancer victims against Monsanto.
This case, Monsanto v. Durnell, will determine the future of food and farming.
If Monsanto wins, there will be nothing to stop pesticide companies from poisoning us with ever heavier doses of toxins that are making us sick, lowering IQ, destroying our health, and causing an epidemic of obesity and diet-related diseases.
Science has linked everything from cancer to autism to type-2 diabetes to pesticides, but federal regulators, in cahoots with the corporations, are doing nothing to protect us. The only place we’re winning is in the courts.
Juries have rightfully punished Monsanto for causing cancer while hiding Roundup’s harms. They’ve been giving Monsanto’s victims billion-dollar judgments, in hopes that, if nothing else, the financial cost of killing its customers will make it change its ways.
Unfortunately, Monsanto isn’t going to change. It’s been business as usual at the company since the 2018 buyout of Monsanto by Bayer, a German company with Nazi roots.
They want to poison with impunity, and, for all the talk of Making America Healthy Again, the Trump Administration and its Republican allies in Congress and the states are doing Bayer-Monsanto’s dirty work.
We need the Supreme Court to hold them back and confirm that people harmed by pesticides and the loved ones of those who have died have the right to sue companies for hiding the truth about their products.
The Supreme Court must consider the legal briefs it receives from state attorneys general. That’s why it’s so important that your state attorney general hears from you.
