Saving Money - With a Garden

One way to save money, if you have the space, is to plant a garden. It does cost a bit of money to buy seeds and plants - but I think it saves you money in a couple of different ways.

• I will (hopefully) spend less money on food;
• I will spend less money going out because I am investing time weeding, watering and otherwise tending to my garden; and,
• I will spend quality time with my great aunt and with Jordan while gardening.

We planted, and I am fairly confident the following vegtables will grow:

• Peas
• Potatoes
• Carrots
• Lettuce
• Cucumbers
• Broccoli
• Chives

We also planted the following - which i hope will grow but have less experience with:

• One tomoato plant (my brother has about 6 at our house)
• One pumpkin plant
• One hot pepper plant
• a blueberry bush (small)
• One cauliflower plant

Hopefully, everything grows! We split the costs of everything we bought (seeds and some starter plants) and spent about $50. I had some seeds I bought from last year that we used too.
