Natural Or Organic?

What do you think of my vegetable garden? Is it organic or natural? Sometimes I don't understand what other people are asking or just because they are used to hearing a terminology that they never understand or just that they want to be trendy or they just want to go with the flow.

My garden is natural. Some of the plants, mostly veggies originally started its life from seeds until it sprung out from the ground (soil). The soil that we bought from Canadian Tire store. The soil sold in plastic bags already had its nutrients in it combination of different ingredients to nurture the plants. They are not 100% ground soil, maybe there are fertilizers in it.  Maybe there are bits and pieces of bark mulch or whatever organic substance those farmers have in the soil. Ask Canadian Tire: Garden Centre. Well, I hope the soil is real soil not fake soil. lol.

ORGANIC PLANTS are plants that are raised in a controlled, highly maintained and cared for facilities, using solar lights and without the use of synthetic fertilizer and other modified ingredients for growth. There's no use of pesticides and other harmful sprays. No synthetic stuff in its growth.

HYDROPHONIC PLANTS are plants that thrive on a well maintained cared for facilities with the use of synthetic materials, solar lights or (electric lamp lights) hydrophonic water and air. Water and air without soil garden. Vegetables are submerged on water. Just like those plants cared for by astronauts-botanists in space.

NATURAL PLANTS are just the natural plants that need true real sunlight from the sun. Water nutrients from the water tap and plants that thrive in true, real soil in the garden, at the backyard, front yard or at the fields in open farm fields. These natural plants thrive and grow in open yards or fields and all kinds of insects can buzz around. But because its the natural plants you can let those bugs affect the growth of such plants that you need to protect them away from bugs and insects. The most common bugs for our veggies are slugs, caterpillars, yellow jackets and ants. Maybe aphids? No aphids found.

Look at those black  ants and its dwelling. Shocking!


Butterflies, moths, bees, and ladybugs are welcome. Yup, you are welcome garden friends because you are the subject for my pictorials.

We don't use harmful insecticides for our plants. Although we used  baits/feeds for slugs. We watered the plants everyday and used "Singles" or "Miracle Gro" once a week or once in two weeks as the food nutrients for these plants.

Darn it's just vegetables on a small plant garden and just happy to grow some plants from seeds. Just like blogging, gardening is also therapeutic and can make use of our time wisely. Remember: B.C. is not the place to be idle with.
