If I were to add up all the Miracle Gro, seeds, Miracle Gro, raised beds, Miracle Gro, seedlings and Miracle Gro my wife buys, each cherry tomato costs us a buck.

Get her a Farmville account.

Last year we did tomatoes, strawberries, peas and herbs. Cost us a small fortune.

This year we are doing strawberries and picking at someone else’s farm when the time is right. Now THAT saved us money and we just ate the last of the frozen blueberries we picked last year.

We thought about buying pre-planted pots from a farm near us. They let you reserve what you want. However, this year they added “meat” rabbits. I could see my daughters crying over the cages until we had a dozen bunnies in the car eating the new plants all the way home. Bad news all the way around.

LOL!

As Hubby was wheel barreling bags of soil to my new raised bed today, he said "I can't help thinking how many vegetables we could have bought for this."

Horse poop is free. :-) The people at the rental barn seem to like it when I make my yearly visit.
