There are lots of things we can do to save money and at the same time be environmentally sound.
I planted a larger garden this year adding more vegetables and fun foods to harvest like cilantro, parsley, onions, carrots, beans, tomatoes and basil. I also planted squash and cucumbers very close to the bean plants so when the beans are done being harvested, I can pull them up just in enough time to give the viney squash plants the room they need to grow. I also planted extra for my friends and neighbors. They all love having fresh stuff right out of the garden. It’s also fun and rewarding to actually harvest your own crops instead of paying top dollar at the big health food chain.
I planted a variety of flowers around the perimeter of the garden as well. There’s nothing like having fresh cut flowers on the table while you’re enjoying the bountiful harvest from your garden.
