Shhh The Word Is Out Gardening Saves Money & The Vegetables Taste Really Good

You know things are changing when gardening is highlighted in the New York Times Dining And Wine section.  People are discovering they can garden and grow their own vegetables, even organic ones, for just pennies.

Marian Burros the author of the article says  the major seed companies and garden centers have seen a 30-40% increase in the amount of vegetable seeds and plants sold this year. With the cost of gas affecting grocery costs it's no surprise.

One interesting point was many of the people gardening this year were first timers.

Well, if you happen to fit in the first time gardener category welcome aboard. There's all sorts of ways to grow vegetables no matter the size of your yard or balcony or patio. My blog aim's to show you how you can garden in limited space or with physical challenges.

Here's the sign up for a free report on container gardening I did. Container gardening works if you have limited space, have to garden indoors or have bad soil (which you don't have the time or energy to fix.)

Phil The Gardener offers lots of how to videos.  Suggest you find an online gardening community to ask questions. There are lots of blogs you can find at Blotanical to find out more.

Consider this, two  4' by 4' gardens (preferrably raised beds) can provide a family of four vegetables for a year. In seeds that's an investment of about $15 and since it's a little late for seeds in many places plants will probably cost about $50 (give or take your location).

Check out community gardens in your neighborhood if space is limited or look at container gardening. Plant vegetables you and your family like. I guarantee vegetables you raise will taste better than any you buy in the store or market.

All in a gardener's day,
