In the last two days I have harvested two baskets of beautiful salad greens, handfuls of herbs and edible flowers, and heads of fresh, amazing, organic broccoli. Organic broccoli is about $3/lb. A bag of salad greens (which these two meals of dinner salad for 5 would have been about four bags) would be about $2.99 each, 2/$5 on sale. Edible flowers and herbs would be about $2 each tiny box. That would be about 2 of those.
Just in the last two days I have made $19 because I turned to my garden instead of the grocery store.
What a beautiful thing! :)
we do the same thing here.. fresh greens, basil, rosemary.. what fun to save on food and have safe food as well!!
ReplyDeleteI just got broccoli out of my garden last night. Thanks for the post. Makes me feel really good about growing and harvesting :)
ReplyDeleteoh yes the garden is a wonderful place. Our family live completely off the garden in the summer! so I say the garden is priceless!
