[...] Grow your own- I have friends with huge gardens that support their family and then some. I also have friends that grow tomatoes and peppers in pots on their front porch. I think it is debatable how much money you will actually save on a garden, depending on the size, and how many trips to the garden store you have to make in the summer. It is a great project for kids. Last year we started seeds in egg cartons inside our home, in March, in a little miniature green house. It was fun to see which ones sprouted and which were the duds. It also encouraged the kids to eat vegetables since they were the ones responsible for weeding, watering, and picking our small harvest. The nice thing about growing your own is that you know that your food wasn’t picked before it was ripe four weeks ago, sprayed with something that just can’t be good for you, put on a ship, then on a truck, and then delivered to your local store where it sat on the shelf for a week before you bought it. Check out this blog if you want to find out if a garden really saves you money. You can read about my garden project here. [...]

I should have my peas in the ground already, but we just can’t seem to get ahead on all the digging and planting. Your plants look great, I look forward to seeing more pictures.

Yea! It is so exciting to watch something grow from a seed. Imagine how much money you will save later this year on fresh produce from your own garden. Good for you!

How exciting! I started tomatoes and herbs from seed a few years ago and it’s so satisfying to see those little sprouts come up. We lived in military housing a few years ago that had garden plots like the ones you have there and I was always so envious of how great they looked in the summer. It’s fun watching the process of yours coming together and good luck!
