My husband is the only one here who eats tomatoes, other than in ketchup and spag sauce. Until I have the time, need (and will) to make those myself, it's easier to just buy the 3-4 tomatoes he eats each month.
The containers from IKEA... are they containers you store them in, or dry the herbs in? I really don't know what I'm doing here. I have a natural "green thumb" (everything I attempt to grow flourishes), but maybe I should buy a book or two.
The containers are for the herbs once they are dry. I can grow a huge lot of herbs, dry them and use them all year for basically pennies. The containers are a one time cost. I dry the herbs in the kitchen. It generally takes about 4 days in the summer when its warm.
Buying a book might help. But meeting other gardeners in your area would be more helpful. Sometimes there are garden clubs that meet at the local rec center. If you have a local nursery (not home dept type) see if they offer the master gardner classes. Many do and I found those classes to be great. They deal with your area's climate, soil, etc.
I guess I can include this on this thread-- All 3 of my daughters are now raising young kids. All 3 have been given a dose of reality lately by the high cost of feeding their family. I know that they could use some $ help but my wife and I have chosen to let them struggle a little. Its part of living and learning.Dont get me wrong. We would never let our children/grandchildren go hungry. We just want them to be creative and learn tyo adapt and prioritize.
Your doing the right thing! Lean times have made my husband and I get creative with raising our young kids.
I can`t get over how much a gallon of milk is here...$5.32.
Heck, we need to buy a cow, goat, or something!
I thought that was just us! But it could be worse. My sister is a schoolteacher in east Dallas, and she sent me a picture where a gallon of milk was $6.69!
