What’s Stopping You From Growing Food? Overcoming the 3 Most Common Excuses

If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t have the time,” “I don’t have the space,” or “I have no clue where to start,” you’re not alone.

Every gardener — even the pros — has felt that same hesitation before their first harvest. But the difference between dreaming about growing food and actually doing it? One small step.

You’re Not Alone — Every Gardener Starts Somewhere 🌿

The good news? You don’t need perfect conditions to grow something good. You just need a little guidance, a little patience, and the faith to begin.

Excuse #1: “I Don’t Have the Time”

You’d be surprised how little time a thriving garden really needs.

With the right setup, you can maintain a small kitchen garden in just 10–15 minutes a day — watering, pruning, and harvesting included.

It’s not about adding another chore to your list; it’s about trading a few minutes of scrolling for something that gives back — peace, nourishment, and joy.

Excuse #2: “I Don’t Have the Space”

Container gardens, vertical setups, and window planters make it possible to grow in even the smallest apartments.

Herbs, leafy greens, and cherry tomatoes can thrive on a sunny balcony or windowsill. And for those with a patio or backyard, raised beds multiply what you can grow without needing a full yard.

Your garden doesn’t have to be big to be abundant — it just needs to be started. 🌱

Excuse #3: “I Don’t Know Where to Start”

That’s exactly why I created the 1:1 Virtual Garden Buildout (Personalized Garden Planning).

You’ll learn what to plant for your light and zone, how to arrange your garden for success, and which simple routines make your plants thrive.

Once you have a clear plan, everything feels easier. You’ll stop second-guessing and start growing — one seed at a time.

“Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.” — Proverbs 16:3

Your Garden Is Waiting on Your “Yes” 🌿

You don’t have to be an expert — you just have to start.

Grab a small pot, add a little soil, and plant a seed. Watch what God can do with your willingness to begin.
