Since food prices have been going through the roof lately we have decided to plant a larger backyard garden this year. Last year we planted sweet peppers, hot peppers and tomatoes.

This year we are planting lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, oregano, basil and broccoli. In previous years we only planting seedlings, this year everything other than the tomatoes with be started as seeds, we bought a little indoor green house kit from Burpie. I will place this in my dining room window(it gets the most sun), until they are ready to be planted outside.

I have been composting for about a year now and have a bushel basket full of compost(also known as black gold), that I will use to hopefully grow a nice rich garden.

To be honest I don’t know if I saved and real money by doing it this way but I enjoy it and it gives you a sense of accomplishment and the stuff just darn taste better.
