they are early girls that i planted two months ago in a larger container that i moved back and forth from our living room onto our front porch
later i transplanted it early into my garden
i covered it with row cover to keep it warmer at night and during the day
it doesnt freeze here so i dont have to worry about that
it looks like it may reward me with my first ripe tomatoes soon
now when i get to pick them when they are juicy red and ripe
i can be sure that they are safe to eat
no pesticides were used
all organic compost and organic fertilizer and liquid fish emulsion molasses seaweed were and are used on this plant
its mostly been watered by rainwater since planted we have had nice weekly rains
so i will pluck this thing
knowing that tomatoes are on the list
but
not these
the list
thats the most contaminated with pesticides list
sort of like those wines and beers that were contaminated with roundup
here is the dirty dozen most pesticized veggies
strawberries
spinach
kale
nectarines
apples
grapes
peaches
cherries
pears
tomatoes
celery
potatoes
how to avoid eating pesticized veggies
grow your own organically
buy organic ones
i grow my own spinach kale tomatoes celery so mine are poison free
the biggest worry is growing kids eating these contaminated veggies
and the behavior and developmental issues they may cause
now for the 2019 clean fifteen
avocados
sweet corn
pineapples
frozen sweet peas
onions
papayas
eggplant
asparagus
kiwi
cabbage
cauliflower
cantaloupes
broccoli
mushrooms
honeydew melons
70% of these have no pesticides
1% of avocados and sweet corn tested had some pesticides
many of these pesticides arent even allowed to be used in europe
i grow sweet peas eggplant broccoli onions asparagus cantaloupes
100% of mine have no pesticides
we all need to eat more fruits and veggies to stay healthy
eating those on the dirty dozen i wonder if the pesticides in them zeroes out the good effects of the veggies and fruits on your health
so
eat organic as much as possible
grow your own organically
