Let Your Garden Grow!

Ahh! Can you smell that? The fragrance of fresh cut grass, honeysuckle nectar, and ripe strawberries can only mean that summer is right around the corner. With summer nearing its debut, we (mostly Luke)readied the garden and we got to planting. Last year was our first year having a garden, and we had great success. We're praying the same for this year. A garden is one of the greatest ways to cut some off of your grocery budget. We spent $12 on plants, but will probably save more than 5x that during the course of the summer months. In the garden this year we have squash, zucchini, 2 varieties of tomatoes, and 3 varieties of peppers. I'm also going to do a small herb garden in strawberry pots. Your food just seems to taste better when you know that you grew it! I'm licking my lips just at the thought.

If you would like to plant a garden, it's not too late. All you need is some plants, a small space or even just some pots. I know a couple of people who have had good success planting in hay bales too.
