We are growing broccoli, carrots and lettuce in the box we started at BEAM, Beaches Emergency Assistance Ministry in Jacksonville Beach.

There are four steps you should follow to prevent worms and insects from taking over your vegetable garden without having to use harmful chemicals.

During the last five weeks, we have been bringing you stories to show you how to grow your own vegetables at home and to provide more access to healthy food by giving you the tools to grow your own produce.

It may seem counterintuitive, but you will need to sacrifice some of the new growth to make room for your vegetables to thrive.

We’ve partnered with BEAM’s garden manager to show you how to build a garden bed or box, the soil and fertilizer to use, best practices when planting your veggies, and now we’re showing you the best techniques to use to make sure it gets enough water.

We want to help you save money at the grocery store by learning to grow your own vegetables and provide more access to healthy food for neighborhoods located in food deserts.

Monday morning, we began a new series on The Morning Show called “Home Grown.” Why? We recognize buying fresh produce is not only expensive, but it’s also difficult if you live in a neighborhood that doesn’t have easy access to a grocery store.
