Save Money by Gardening!!

Save Money by Gardening!! This spring just like everyone else in my family we are trying to get a spring garden planted.  We do potatoes, onions, tomatoes, green beans, corn, zucchini, pumpkin, peppers, cantaloupe each year.  Lots of them we can can (preserve) as the season progresses so we are saving a huge amount of money on store bought vegetables.  The average The average garden saves a family $530 – WOW that is quite a bit of money.

Or if you are a seasoned gardener you could purchase a portable greenhouse ranging from $30-$300!! This would be a great investment so that you have fruits and vegetables earlier in the season as well as later in the season.  Which would improve your savings over time and more than pay for itself in as little as the first year.

So make sure you plan ahead for your gardening time, save money by gardening, and have fun while doing it.  Do you garden? Do you have any helpful hints you would like to share?
