Save on your grocery bill with a vegetable garden and free recipes






In our current weak economy people are turning to creative ways to save money. One of the most flexible parts of most household budgets is the cost of food. Two ways to lower our food bills are to eat out less, and grow our own vegetables.

Gardening is fun, easy and more popular than ever. It's mid June and not too late to get started planting a garden of your own. Planting season, depending on where you live, runs from early April to late October. Children love to participate and learning to grow their own food can be an educational opportunity.
