It was pretty satisfying growing my own food, especially when it finally grew. I watered my sprouts regularly, but they did not seem to grow at all in the beginning, which was quite frustrating. I can now understand as a farmer using nothing but nature can be hard, especially when the crop does not seem too reliable. But eventually the sprouts took their course and began to blossom. Seeing this created a feeling of pride; I felt that I had actually accomplished something. The process though did seem a little forced, because I wanted my sprouts to grow so that I would be able to do the assignment. I reluctantly watered them and ate them, but by the end it was actually a fulfilling experience. I am sure that it can be tempting to use pesticides and other chemicals, but I believe knowing that you did everything on your own and organically is be so much more gratifying. The sprouts did not taste too bad either, they were nice and crunchy; they tasted fresh. I cannot say that for a lot of processed, big manufacturer foods that I have tasted before. Growing food in this way just seems so much more natural; it is the natural evolution of our food, not the one we have enforced.
