June 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Gardening is a way to cut the recession proof your grocery bill.
Gardening is a tool that my parents used tocut cost. I believe, in these economic times, we may need to go back to the basics. One of those basic is growing your own vegetables.
When I was a little girl, my mom and dad always had a garden. We would plant cucumbers, squash, greens, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, corn, etc. My least favorites, of course, were the squash andeggplant. I enjoyed canning, cooking, and especially growing the food.
As a child, I would marvel overwhat a little labor, water, love, and God could do to make a meal formyself and my family.
As the seed would sprout into a plant and evidently food, I had the unpleasant chore of weeding the garden, though, to help with the harvest. However, it was not so unpleasant when I would sign while I did it.
My mom would tell us stories about the amazing harvest she had and the fun she had with her dad in the garden, so we would get excited about sharing the same experience.
Another thing that mom taught us is that watering theplants can be inexpensive, too. All you have to do is get some buckets and catch the rain water coming off of your house or recycle your rinse water when washing clothes.
So if you are looking for ainexpensive way tocut your grocery bill then try gardening. You will be surprised at the rewards.
