On gardening for edibles

The wife and I were talking about community gardens over breakfast. Public schools still have them, even those with less plots of land. Perhaps private schools should consider this and allocate plots for edibles including veggies and herbs. Maybe universities and colleges can have land dedicated to edibles? UP Diliman pa lang marami nang pagtaniman. Perhaps the church should also consider this with the community/parishioners pitching in to produce food. What do you think?

Pictured below is a community garden at a public school in Valenzuela City that's one of the schools we've engaged for a child road traffic injury prevention project.

This garden has, among others, lettuce (pechay), chili (sili), eggplant (talong), and bitter gourd (ampalaya).

We've planted edibles in our home's garden. Currently, we have kamote (sweet potato), chili, Basil, papaya, lettuce, and others. I will feature these in a future post.
