Can growing vegetables by yourself really ensure the needs of life during the epidemic?

Growing vegetables by yourself during the epidemic period can't meet the needs of life, but talking is better than nothing.

Vegetables take time to ripen.

It takes time to grow vegetables from sowing to germination to flowering and then to fruiting. It doesn't mean that you can eat it tomorrow if you plant it today. And we also need to eat during this time. So growing vegetables can't guarantee our daily needs, but we still have to buy vegetables. Just like the bean cucumber that my family planted this summer, it took 1 months to blossom.

(2) All kinds of vegetables are not necessarily alive.

Not everyone can grow vegetables, and many people don't know how to grow, raise and take care of them. Sometimes too much water will lead to waterlogging, and too little water will lead to drought. Vegetables are also prone to insects and yellow leaves. If food is not taken care of by professionals, it will be difficult to survive, let alone bear many fruits. Therefore, it is difficult to meet the needs of life by growing vegetables yourself. Just like the beans planted in my family, they were fine at first, but they began to turn yellow after a few rains, and several trees died in a few days. I don't know why until now.

(3) The vegetable planting area is small.

No matter living in the countryside or in the city, there is much less space available now. There are fewer places to grow vegetables. The countryside is better, you can open a small vegetable garden. But the city can't. You can use the balcony upstairs. In fact, in such a small area, few vegetable seedlings can be planted. It's good to eat a growing food. Under such conditions, it would be naive to grow vegetables to meet the needs of life. My home is in the countryside and there is a small vegetable garden. You can't eat vegetables in the field for three meals a day, mainly by buying vegetables.

④ The variety of vegetables grown by oneself is single, which can't meet the needs of the body.

The varieties we choose to grow our own vegetables are generally good, and the results will not consider the nutritional problems. In order to supplement nutrition, we may eat two or three dishes at a meal. If you only rely on the types of vegetables you grow, it is difficult to meet the nutrition your body needs. Our family grows vegetables that are good for survival, such as beans and cucumbers. Eating every day is really boring. If you want something else, you still have to buy it.

So I don't think growing vegetables by myself during the epidemic can guarantee the needs of life.
