Summer is almost here. Don't know about you, but we Frugal's cringe when we are in the produce aisle at the grocery store. High prices, under-ripened fruit and limited selections. A frugal solution; Grow your own! Easy to get started, lots of varieties. We hear more and more in these times our grandparents growing their own Victory Gardens many years ago and the benefits from their experience. Sharing their ideas, seeds and produce with neighbors and friends.
This is not the Frugal garden, pictures to come, but we are trying some new things in the yard. A new "Topsy Turvy" with Bell Peppers, banana peppers, the ever present tomatoes and we are trying pineapple this year. The orange tree has fruit, as does the lemon tree. The freeze did some damage to the Key Lime tree, but we will manage.
On the horizon; Hydroponics's! The yard is ready, we will purchase and install in August/September and should have salad in six weeks. A simple solution that will involve all Frugal's as we enjoy the "fruits" of our labor!
Let us hear about your garden experiences!
