Welcome to Taroandti.com. Imagine walking outside with a basket and returning with it full of fresh fruits, veggies and nuts. Without spending a dime. That’s the kind of gardening I like. While I may grow a lot of unorthodox “veggies” like taro, Chinese water-chestnuts, etc – the same applies – it’s food that’s uniquely yours at the cost of some TLC.

Anything else is candy – nice to have but not necessary. I’ll document my experiences with gardening here, as well as tips I pick up along the way.
