Vegetable gardening does not have to be expensive! I am pretty much a novice at it, but am really going to expand my garden this spring not only to save money, but to eat healthier and make a more positive impact on our environment. My kids love to get involved, so this will definitely be a family project. I found that when they help with the vegetables, they actually want to eat them! I found lots of help at www.zipharvest.com - I could design my own garden, and am getting the entire package through them. They are creating some interesting things over there - I think that, like Daphne, I'm going to add up my savings this year!
