Well the snow is melting for those who get it and temperatures are starting to warm up! About time to start planning the seasons growing ideas.
In this economy it is no doubt that everyone is looking for ways to save cash, and gardening is one of the easiest and most rewarding ways to make
your dollar go further. Tomatoes, Potatoes, Cabbage, Corn, Lettuce, Green Beans, Squash, Cucumbers, Zucchini, Bell peppers and the list goes on
and on; limited only by ones imagination.
Did you know a lot of Plant shops and Gardening Centers are selling more seeds now than they have in the past few years combined. Some stores
can’t even keep vegetable seeds in stock. Seeds last for years so if you need to buy those extra few packages of strawberries or pinto’s then by all
means do so.
The price of produce rises and falls with the economic situation. When gas rises the cost of produce rises, the cost of canned produce rises. So it
is only smart that one plan to grow a garden and watch mother nature do it’s thing. A pack of Silver queen Corn can grow in a couple of months
while feeding your family through the winter. Savings for that alone could save one a hundred plus dollars. Add the other vegetables one grows
during the growing seasons and you could save hundreds of dollars per year.
Yes gardening takes a little more work than driving to your local grocer, but the taste and cost savings will be well worth it. If you have never
planted your own Garden, or have but just haven’t done so in the past few years with the economy the way it is now there is no better time to get
back into it and with the savings take that vacation or buy that new dress you have been wanting.
Who knew there would be so many rewards to Gardening, saving money and stress relieving!
