Home Vegetable Gardening Tips For Beginners
Wednesday, July 13th, 2011
Vegetable gardening isn’t just a passion any longer. It has now become a smart as well as healthy technique to combat shifts within our economic conditions and the ever increasing food costs.
About a year ago we experienced a economic recession making it harder to make ends meet each month.
In the last recession we were beginner vegetable gardeners. Turns out our timing couldn’t have been better. Vegetable gardening provided a great opportunity to save money on the grocery bills.
We felt like we actually had a bit of control in a recession we couldn’t control.
Involve Your Friends And Neighbours
It’s wonderful having vegetable gardening friends who bring fresh vegetables right to our front door. Barb, one of my guitar playing friends would even bring over extra preserves she made herself. Mmmm, so good.
We’ve had enough produce to share with people since we started vegetable gardening and our good friend Barb is taking the time to teach us how to make preserves of our very own, to have over the winter.
Grow Things That Are Easy To Grow
Our first vegetable garden was a container garden as we didn’t have permission or space to dig up in the yard we rented.
When we started growing tomatoes in containers we really didn’t realize how many tomatoes we would produce. So many we had to give most of them away before they spoiled.
We were definitely saving some money on the grocery bills by growing our own produce but it gets better. The following year we got together with a few friends and planned how we could benefit each other.
What did we do? Well each of us grew things we could share with each other but we grew different things. Friend one would grow buckets of tomatoes in a variety of kinds and another would grow something different we could all share.
It’s amazing just how much produce we had that we didn’t even grow and still saved on the grocery bills.
This year my wife and I are growing tomatoes in abundance, enough to share but also enough to keep for preserves next winter. Tomatoes are a big part of our diet as we put tomatoes in everything, pretty much.
We learned that we don’t want squash in our main vegetable garden as they tend to grow through everything else so we created a new location for squash and we’re growing enough to share with our team.
The Free Traffic System – Vegetable gardening is just one way I make extra money working from home. I also write articles about my veggie gardens as well as many other niches and then publish them on various article directories.
