Save Money....Grow Your Own Food!

A great way to save money is to grow your own food.  It's not as difficult as most people think.  About a month ago, I sewed seeds for "cut and grow" lettuce...a variety of lettuces that you can clip the outer leaves and let the inner leaves continue to grow...so you can harvest and eat some of the lettuce and not take out the whole plant.  This is a great way to eat and not have to re-sew the lettuce seeds.


So my lunch today will be salad made with baby greens grown in the garden....and the same plants will give me lunches in the future!


I've got tomatoes in but it's too early in the season to harvest, but they will be great with the salad greens later in the year.
