. How much money do you have to spend to buy vegetables in a month?

This is a very nice question, talking about how much money I spend on vegetable, truly speaking I don't spend money in buying vegetables because we have them enough in the farm and we usually sell them off for people that needs it, this generate additional income to Carter for the family bills.

. Can the vegetables be grown in your area or on your own land?

Oh yes, vegetables can thrives very well on our land and here is the picture of newly grown once that we are stalking
