Canadian Senior Cut Grocery Bills By Growing Food - Can You?

How Can Canadian Seniors Save Money Growing Their Groceries?

Many Canadian Seniors grow a wide variety of house plants inside their homes, now more and more are making the shift to Growing food indoors to help cut grocery bills. Growing a few plants on a windowsill or in pots under fluorescent lights might not be enough to replace the foods you need to purchase at a grocery store, but having your own store of "grow" ceries could take a bit of a pinch out of a budget.

This post has a video showing my attempt at growing beet tops inside.

Growing Beet Micro Greens -Two Ways

I purchased a microgreens beet kit from the grocery store for CAD 2.88 and a bag of beets for the same price. 

Two Indoor Beet Green Gardens

I tried my best to follow the instructions on the microgreen kit, but I had to quit growing the beet microgreens in it because the kit got mouldy on the bottom. 

On the other hand, most of the beets in my bag of beets grew leaves that I was able to cut off and add to my meals to help increase my nutritional intake. I have now harvested beet tops twice from my beets. 

However, if you wanted to have enough baby beet greens to make a salad or side dish you would probably need at least 2 big bags of beets. 

Here is the video that I posted on Rumble.
